Figuring out new and different ways to do the same thing.. Casual photographer, sky watcher, VP and lead (only grunt) for the Historic Orangeville Train Station Museum.

Spend a few hours building a tank stand.. Decided to put it on a desk in the living room instead...

Still, only spent 20$ to build it.

$150 for a fish tank stand? Naaa, I have wood I have been saving for something.

Just enough cedar slats left for a nice look.

My theme song for the last week has been "ya'll gonna make me loose my mind". Foit is getting better slowly, but just too much to do to do nothing.

How about you?

Never did tell my daughters when we lived in Michigan just how many tornadoes were with 5 miles of our house.

I did like the idea of a wine and sky type event.

Was actually very interesting listening to you. Most of my dealing with astronomers in the 90s was trying to explain why their huge on screen image didn't translate to a huge printed image.

Though, did get to meet clyde tombaugh before his passing

Been some updates to the indi-allsky app. Though with 100% cloud cover, can't verify that the virtual sky alignment is good or not.

Couple of hours at the #trainstation. Worked out where to cut the excess track off at and working on a refresh of two display cases and stands I bought.

The silver rails show the footprint of the #caboose, will have a good 18" of adjustment room.

And doesn’t matter how many times you explain your name.e.. In my 9 year old brain I am imagining a hippopotamus in a space suit on the moon watching the stars.

Just finished the two episodes on Spotify. Very interesting listening to, not sure what I was expecting to hear but it was engaging and also interesting to hear the "other side" of people that are in astronomy.

2 1/2 hours to break and count everything and then load up for tomorrow. At least it wasn't bitter cold.

Out of Place Gulls

Only time I see gulls this far west is when bad weather is coming up the coast.

Guess I didn't need to work Saturday and take today off. The 3-6" of snow ended up being less than an inch in my area. But, didn't know this would happen on Friday when I made the decision. Just 50 miles too far west..

Coal Country Row House

Prior post was a closeup of asphalt hex shingles on the side of a row house in Ashland, PA.

You could have an entire block of row houses, and each one would have different siding and roofs.

Arcus Brothers..

Oh the stories about this place. Lets put it this way, they use to be well known for buying /anything/. Not unusual to see a lot of out of state plates parked close by.
