Steve,

Living in the RV sounds fun -- will need to talk with you about it. My wife and I have retirement upcoming in a few years, been thinking that wandering sounds much more appealing than staying put, particularly for astro and photo people.

I never really left astronomy, but did take something of a tangent after getting my astronomy degree. But I am just now getting re-acquainted with Mark I Eyeball astronomy -- forgot how much fun it can be not having to reserve telescope time, weasel for supercomputer time, and crunch numbers, crunch numbers, crunch numbers.
