I'm hoping to use my *snake eyes* to wear her down, then swing the ole thumb in around from the left, and make the pin......while in focus.

The observatory that love built! I'm sure you're enjoying it thoroughly Carol!
Scott: Your description fits my Observatory so very well!  I'm going to incorporate that on a sign or something to hang in the Observatory.
Thank you!

Scott, a little acetone or nailpolish remover should help unstick that tube superglued to your hand and shoulder......

Ah Rob,

You know, that is almost a wierd Idea......
I have family in Great Falls, and several other areas.
We had entertained going back to Glacier Natn Park before my son heads off to Marine bootcamp after the school year.
It isn't unreasonable to think of such a transfer, since I would be taking my astro van. But alas.......My family opted to take a trip to Central Oregon instead.....and the weather is getting bad this time of year.
The idea isn't totally dead yet, but would take careful diplomacy, on my part.
I can run the idea up the flag pole, and see what the troops think....especially the General staff..
