With luck I'll have a new chair there too. Pretty much the same same version I built last year but with a few tweaks based on things that needed improvement over the first "prototype".

Sometime between now and the end of the month, I'm setting the Newt up in the yard and looking at the Moon through those new EPs. Or Jupiter. Or any random star that happens by. Anything.
Not that I believe in silly superstitions like astro curses, of course... 
Uh yeah. You might want to peek at jets flying over

I may have to leave The Chair behind. It might develop an inferiority complex.

I doubt it. Darn thing is still very comfortable - and I'm not too sure why! Besides; it uses the original front tooth adjustment (proven more reliable than the infinitely adjustable toothless design it came with  ) preferred by more Admins.

Pegster is to blame on the TMB's as he had a nice set when he visited last year so I've been adding them as they turn up (and quick enough to score on before someone else - which has not been all that often).
Hey, whatever it takes to get the purchase past SWMBO. Glad I could help. 
I've been tempted by a 40mm Paragon. If it weren't for my 35 Pan I'm sure I'd own one. May still pick one up anyway.....

Oops! I didn't run that past the SWMBO.
So let's keep that between you and me. Besides, she says I can't take my folding table into the field anymore. I might scratch it.

Uh... Scott, does the phrase "second opinion" ring a bell?

Hey, is it any wonder why I've been divorced twice?
At this point I'll consider myself educated. Thanks for the tips!
