Monday Night
Not having much to do but dry out everything after last weeks 4inch of rain,
and with a good clear sky, I went to the corner and set up. I watched cars going by and nothing much going on. I was thinking of closeing up shop about 8pm when a guy came over and we ended up talking about the price of parts and the building of a scope. So I do think there's going to be a new ATMer in the months ahead. After he left, a man and two kids came over, they got to see Saturn and then the moon too and I handed out a few leftover stickers from JPL. We talked for a good 15 to 20 mins before they got real cold and had to leave. I've got to repaint my signs next month so people know what's going on. -- SIAR www.starlords.org Telescope Buyers FAQ http://home.inreach.com/starlord |

I am thinking about a sign for sidewalk work. Something in masonite with interchangable target boards to indicate the current target. Sort of like the ones realtors use. Available: The Universe|Solar System| --interchangable, velcro or hooks. |Saturn|Jupiter|Mars|Luna| --interchangable, velcro or hooks. Inquire within. Currently, 10:24pm Monday, on Mt. Tamalpias in Marin County California, visibility is about 20 ft in dense fog. Earlier, a hole appeared above my house and I was able to see Saturn. But it closed rather quickly. Clear Skies, Uncle Bob |

Well, my sign was/is made up of the end parts to an old dresser someone had
dumped. It was mostly gone, so I tore it apart, got a hinge and put it at the top to form a sandwich style one. It stands about 4 ft tall. It's close to 4 years old now and the last buch of storms didn't do it any good. So I'll have to scroung a sheet of sandpaper and go over it and next month get to wal-mart to buy their El CheapO spray paint. I just have one word on either side running from top to bottom ... Telescope. The Sign I had before this one was made of about the same but it didn't last but 2 years before falling apart. Oh BTW, March marks 7 years here. -- SIAR www.starlords.org Telescope Buyers FAQ http://home.inreach.com/starlord "Uncle Bob" wrote in message g.com... starlord wrote: Not having much to do but dry out everything after last weeks 4inch of rain, and with a good clear sky, I went to the corner and set up.
