  1. If you can find a spot within 8 hours of the Austin area, I might could jump in as a second.  Would need details, pricing, etc.  It's also something I've always wanted to do.

    Start fucking with them and their house. Strobe lights, lasers, stink bombs, dogshit, get a bunch of fucked up junk mail sent to their house, put their number on a bunch of solicitor lists, salt their yard, hire some trashy woman to tell his wife she’s fucking her husband, or maybe some gay guy to tell her the same thing. Are there any homeless people nearby? Get them to take a shit on their front door. Gaslight the husband into thinking his wife is having an affair. Mail them glitter. Have a friend of yours rent the place and leave dead fish in the air ducts and clog the drains.

    UserID checks out.

    ours is a sky-watcher 80mm refractor apo.  the magnification wasnt anywhere what i naively envisioned, even after swapping different eyepieces. 

     

    be prepared to spend lots of money on the tripod.   possibly even more than telescope itself.  because the movement and motions are magnified alot, the tripod has to be ultra sturdy.  also the manual tripods are difficult to aim and lock off, so you might want the motorized/computerized ones, which are $$$$. 

     

    the other consideration is whether the setup is just for viewing, or you want to capture astrophotography, for which there are tons of accessories adapting cameras to the telescope.

     

    we just used it to scope out the moon when we first got it, then never again

    So are you interested in selling it or what?

  4. We have booked with both of those sites but not for South Padre.

    Never a problem. Sites are reputable & will aid in any booking issues or "not as advertised", etc.

    Read reviews, they are only made by verified customers.

    Watch out for the "cleaning fee", however.

    Staying 1 night for $ 125? $ 100 tacked on (total added to the advertised fee).

    Staying 10 nights for $ 1,000? $ 100 tacked on (total added to the advertised fee).

    Yes, and one for you too.  I was thinking that you might find this one cool.

    Yeah, that shortbox on a CabOver is def. worth the look.  I have my eyes on winning the lottery & there's this '54ish White CoE in Oak Hill that I wanna have ridonkulous stuff done to it, starting with a cab stretch, keep the tilt, make it 4x4 & slide a juiced up Cummins in there.

    I'm not a gearhead by any stretch of the imagination. More of a weekend tinkerer on my own cars to know the work is done correctly, but I'm really impressed with the engineering of the Chevy LS series of engines. I could add a blower and get a shit ton of additional horsepower out of the current engine, but I want to keep the entire rebuild stock GM parts, just to keep the "how long can you keep a daily driver in good shape" project going.

    I put a call into the chief mechanic at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green to see if the swap of off-the-shelf GM parts will work. I will see if I can actually get him on the phone to walk me through what I am thinking. I am skeptical it is possible to have a highly dependable 350+ hp 4wd pick-up built with replacement parts that can be easily sourced, all for under $100/month. And sell it years later for the original purchase price.

    My interesting find of the week was that GM is coming out with a new Hummer this fall. Lebron James is slated to be the face of the brand this time. 1000hp. 0-60 in 3 secs. All electric. No internal combustion engine.

    You're an engineer, right?

    No. 

    MY point was more on the "does she work for Trump?" part because in every scene cut to her, you can tell she's looking @ the Orange shitbag to see if he laughs & then MAYBE he would also laugh.  In any event, she's absolutely holding in her desire TO laugh.
