Unless we are going for a record page number or something. You must have been reading my mind, telenewbie, as I was close to starting a Pt 6 thread. I've the locked Pt 5 thread – 2,400 is a nice round number to close it on. I sure hope those clouds clear out for you guys in the Pacific Northwest. I have a son who lives in Washington.

Even the slugs are surly these days.

How can a guy tell? Records are being set, none of which are at my finnertips. I heard on the radio this morning (Cliff Mass interview) that Spokane has surpassed most rainfall in March, with records going back to 1891. There was also mention, which I didn't quite hear, about some kind of record rain at Seatac airport yesterday. Cliff Mass also mentioned that the pineapple express is going to be drowning No. Cal. & So. Ore. tomorrow. He said up in W. Wash., after today's slender relief, it'll be really wet until a break around a week from Sunday. Are we having fun yet?

A couple times the whole setup could have tipped over had i not been paying attention. I decided that i wouldn't risk it again and waited for the new mount. Kerry, the tripod is a Canadian Telescope heavy duty wooden tripod. It may be a rebranded tripod and have some equivalent from skywatcher and others. It is pretty and seems solid. It also has a back strap for easy transport. Did the picture get modded? It was up last night but, i can't see it now.

The part for my car still hasn't come in and i have spent $170 in gas in the last 6days driving my truck. I really need to get some dark sky time in soon. And going with you guys is far more fun. I hope we get a chance before pixieland or this is going to be a rough couple months. Post Extras:       zerro1 Postmaster Reged: 08/02/09 Loc: Smokey Point , 48.12°N 122.25°...
