My B-Day

Today is my B-day, and I wanted to drop a hello to everyone out there who are reading this.  My wife was a sweet and made me cookie and cupcakes.  She also got me a new attachment for my telescope.  The funny thing with that is that the part is not in stock at the moment, because Starizona is making a new version of the part.  It won’t be ready for about three more weeks.  I was hoping to have it this weekend for family camp since I am in charge of a star viewing time Saturday night.  Dean (the owner of Starizona) is such a great guy that he is loaning me his personal product so I have one for the weekend.  My brother got me a poster that is a periodic table with Star Trek stuff on all the elements.  For example: Mn, which is manganese, is Mind Meld and shows a picture of Spock and Bones in a mind meld.  It is really cool.

I went out this morning and took some more pictures of the sun.  The flares were a lot larger, and there were more of them this morning.  It was really cool.  I am going to continue working on them, and try taking more.

My wife is giving me a hard time (all in fun mind you) about what I have started to watch on TV.  I really enjoy watching BBC America; well three shows, Cash in the Attic (think atiquies road show), Changing Rooms, and What Not to Wear.  For some reason the second two I find really interesting and fun.
