explained how they worked

Manuel invited me over to his place for some astronomy. He suggested we could play until 11:30. "It seems we are having clear skies."

I replied and said that today represented the second day of the city observing week's window. And if it was clear, I'd want to go to that. I invited him again to join us there for some fun and socialising.

He messaged back that he "did not know about your City Observation Plans. If I had known before I will join you guys." Further, he had left his 'scope outside to cool. And that he'd work on his own.

Gaaarrr. I was frustrated. It seemed he did not really understand how the observing sessions worked. And when he asked me yesterday where exactly in the park, it was pretty clear he had never reviewed any of the good information we have on our web site. And it also seemed that he did not know the dates. But then, I've seen that before of him.

I know he's a busy guy, and puts in long hours at his shop, but if he wants to participate more in RASC activities, he needs to monitor the calendar more closely.

In the end, it was moot. Stuart made another no go call. Tough calls. Nice in the day time yet a little too cloudy and hazy in the evenings...
