Default Astro:Babylon 10 ready to go on May 28th

This is how I got it to the corner that evening and then got it home.

JMI would probably paint the wagon black and charge $500 for it as a
"advanced telescope transportation system".

For moving my Obsession 20 I have a "telescope assistant" (aka "wife") to
help. A wagon would probably be cheaper.

I use the wagon to haul stuff from the market 4 miles away down to home,
it's a long walk, but on May 28th I tied B10 onto it and it carried the
scope up to my corner and then back hole. I have refectors I hang on it back
side at night.

remember, moving heavy dobs is always done with an old
refrigerator cart. I know you have five on hand. Just strap the
scope on rocker box in and "go".
Bye

Why am I thinking about the TV show, "Evening Shade"?

It's worth the walk if you can get people to think about something
other than themselves.

That day I had a massive amount of people stoping to look. Most nights it's
a bit slow for me, but that night I had well over 100 people stoping. It was
waring me out.

You English must live a deprived childhood without a Red Flyer wagon!
Mine took me around the world, or at least a 5 year old's world more
than 60 years ago.

It's a classic brand name.
For his next scope he'll need this one.

Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct.
Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".
