Dammed Wind

Just afer 6:30pm tonight I figured I had enough daylight to take a good
sized dent out of my 10inch scope, I had already put it's feet back on and
they are good. I had just taken screw #6 out of the mirror cell and dumped
it into a blow and was removing the mirror cell when a oddball strong gust
of wind came ripping along, and I lost everything. Thankfully the mirror
fell on it's top edge and nothing broke on it, just need to clean it some.
But the blow with the screws took to the air and I have only found one of
them, and I've washed the area down, so friday I'm going to check the dirt
out there and call for a dial a ride on sateruday and get 5 more of those
screws if I don't find them. Got to put the telrad back on, but the dent is
gone. I don't think I'll go to the corner, just set up by our driveway.

I seached the area today and found ONE more of the screws, when the blow
flipped over the screws when all over the place. So saterday I'll get
everything ready and about 3pm head up with scope and get the screws and my
can of cement at the hardware store and go on up to the corner and fix the
scope and get ready for the night viewing.
