I was doing a dark frame exposure on my eyes. Just for calibration purposes mind you. In any event, you didn't install the flags - so you get to buy pizza this time. 
Bierbelly; you picked a fine time to have standards. For what it's worth, your scope meets our standards and we do have a nice section for lawyers. Have to, the last one we had loaned me a power supply for the NS11.

You got it! Pizza's on me. Think 6 months is long enough for the workers to finish that Domino's in Arizona City?

The Dominos has to be done by end of July; it takes 10 weeks for the pizza to cool to party temp.

Ours must be the only regular scheduled star parties in North America that feature both dehydration and indigestion as regular activities.

Actually, didn't you arrive already a little bit past well done?
Almost said "half baked," but didn't want to give folks the wrong impression...

Having been to Farnsworth in March, at least some of this conversation makes sense to me, and I'm reminded to bring, besides pizza, an alarm clock on my next visit which is a novel concept to us Midwesterners that don't observe in the desert. And Ron, you'd fit right in calibrating your dark frames at our star parties.
