Labor Day Weekend and it was not
that busy. It started friday night
at the supermarket parking lot,
when I was going in to get my
sandwitch to eat, a guy pulled up
and asked what size my scope was.
I told him and gave him one of my
handouts I pass out.
After eating I parked where I unload
my gear and did just that. The moon
was a hit and miss deal, as it played
tag with the clouds that came from
the storm John to the far south, but
for most of the time Jupiter was in the
clear and it was mostly out of towners
that stopped to have a look, but not
that many, by closing time I'd had maybe
about 10 people stop by.
Saturday night it was another night of
touch and go for the moon and clouds,
but not the taxman, got my tax bill
in the mail, got to shell out $104.00
to the state for changing the trailer,
a budget buster. Of the people who came
over to look, they where local ones
that see me sitting there. That night
I had another 5 or 6 folks stop.
Sunday night was a dead one, only 3 guys
came over to look see and they where
firemen between calls. I went home by
9:30.
Monday night I had only one old couple
stop by to have a look see and at 9pm
the lights went out, old FF had switched
back to their school time. I had been set
up an hour there.
