Hi mike, thought I would stop by this thread and say "Hi". Wow, really Wow! For someone who says he is not smart enough to punch his way out of a wet bag, you are doing great! Just out of curiosity, do have a name for your soon to be completed observatory? If not, maybe your boys could help with that small issue. They say, "from the mouth of babes" and all that. Keep up the great work, you are getting a fortune of great advice here from everyone else.
