Nothing astro related (I just recently bought a DMK for myself though!) ... lets see, I got a voucher at a local motorcycle shop to buy some steel or kevlar reinforced jeans (cooler than the touring suit, and more protection than normal jeans), a new wallet (traffic through the old one must've been too high??), some money is on it's way in the mail allegedly (I see a conspiracy to wear out the new wallet too!!), and a packet of M&Ms. Can't complain about that lot!

Cloudy skies again here today, so all plans of setting up the scope with the solar filter to test out the DMK are off. Might take the bike for a cruise, surf IIS occasionally and have a lazy day with the dog!

Al.

Feels great, Paul! I know it's an ugly job but someone has to do it!

Besides, being 18 with 29 years experience isn't old!

He would probably love it! He's a bit big for the tank bag though, and I don't have a patch of carpet to put on the tank... it might have to wait till he learns on a trail bike before I take him out on the road though.

Thanks Alex.

Thanks, Mike! The steel/kevlar jean are from Lyn so the filter wheel will have to wait a little while.
