Eat that batch for practice. We can order more later...

Unfortunately, can't use freon any more in the pizza chiller. Have to let it sit out "al fresco" for a couple of weeks.

Gentlemen... and gentle ladies too... start getting your observing lists in order.

2007 All-Arizona Star Party

Coming to a large, flat, dirt field near you (OK, maybe not so near all of you!)
With all the rain we've been getting, maybe there will be vegetation there this fall.

I figure if the rain continues, we'll be able to fish during the day.

Yes, but you need to provide your own helmet and flotation gear. The rapids are beginning to look a bit sporty.

I'm not sure a river of mud counts as 'rapids.'

It takes a bit of imagination...like seeing Abell items in a 10" aperture.

You were holding out on me??? :foottapping:

I packed a wee bit heavy too for just one day/night. Better than starving though.

Yup. I just bring stuff I wouldn't mind eating at home afterwards.

Exactly...

And while we're on the subject, I have noticed that nothing reminds you that you aren't a teenager anymore better than trying to eat like one...
