still a good trip

The evenings sucked. Too much cloud. The transparency sucked. The swallows were distracted. The bugs sucked. I took on a lot of black fly bites (which I'll no doubt pay for later). As usual, I didn't get everything done that I wanted. I did successfully test my custom built Celestron data cable on the NexStar 11. I did successfully charge all the AA batteries for the solar lights. Delivered the "emergency" sheet sets. And hockey sticks. Retrained my ivy plants. Didn't test the old car reflectors. Didn't hike the property boundary. Still, I had a very enjoyable weekend. I thanked Katrina, Millie, Dietmar, Lora, Phil, and Risa.
