Thanks folks I'll earmark that low cost one, but after getting my rent bill
with the 2x's higher heating bill and the cost of tring to fix the old car
to keep it runing, I've reached my mad money limits, as it had to go back
into the keep living money. If I'm able to sell my two JBT kittens, then
maybe I'll be able to get something.

And MY 2nd base is hardwired onto my SGS Dob.

Mad Money??? Didn't it get it's rabies shots?

With this early cold spell that hit out here, the cost of heating my trailer
went up like spaceship 1.

Hi Jon:

About 1/3 the size, length-wise. Cute little thing.

Peace,
Rod

OR...Dennis...if you can live with an ersatz Telrad that only costs

only
$19.95:

I've tried this one and it works well and is a good value for the

price.


Thanks, Rod. One of my problems with competing 1x finders has always
been that they do not use the ingenious three-circle reticle of the
Telrad. I'd always throught it was patented.

Just below the Galileo finder is a very competitively priced observing
chair, although I wish the height were continuously variable.

This AM at sunrise the morning temp was 20F, that's up from the almost 5
days of 15 to 18F we've seen at that time. 3 days ago I had to renew the
wraps around my water pipes as I got up to frozen pipes and the centeral
heater in this trailer has it's lowest setting at 50F, so it comes on and
off all night long. Every winter our gas rate goes up, but last month was
the coldest on record since 1914 and my normal Nov. gas bill of $10 to
$15.00 shot up to a bill of $45.00 and I'm the lowest user on gas in the
trailer park, one guy over in trailer 11 had a gas bill of $157.00 and he
keeps his trailer at about 75F inside day and night. This is one reason I do
my cooking of meals on the stove fast, so as to not waste a lot of gas, and
use my Microwave more too. Elec. cost goes down in winter.

BUT! at lest we don't get those hurricans either.
