My little lad got his first telescope - it will be seeing us from both of us

Spent most of Christmas night staring at craters on the moon and what we're fairly sure was Jupiter.

If you've a smart phone a great app is Google Sky Map... simple to use and a great aid

 

[DaveWL]

Google Sky Map is the ony reason we were able to even guess it might be Jupiter

That and a bit of googling of "what planets look like through a normal telescope" ...

soo...my cristmas is slightly delayed and spread out, but so far I have recieved some (fake?)fur lined boots. They are leather or suede and feel sturdy I am now debating wether to use some comercial saddle soap on them, my olive oil and beeswax mix, or my turpentine, beeswax and oil(linseed or olive, I can't remember) mix on them...

 

[spandit]

I can recommend Effax leather balsam on them

I suspect I'll default success a few times, but I'll try to remember the good and the almost .

Been having a play with turning leek and potato soup into bark. First lesson learned, I was concerned it was would be too watery so reduced the liquid. Reducing made it gloopy and thick, which lead to it holding water and taking longer to dehydrate :vio:

yeah,but that means having to buy stuff, and not only am I cheap, I also have no idea if I can get some things over here. Of course, the saddle soap I have might actually be Effax leather basalm, but the label has long since vanished so I don't know what's in it.

I'm a bit late to the game here but things that relate to the great outdoors were an Osprey Exos 58 and a Zebralight H600, two nice pieces of kit that I'm dying to get out and use later this month.

Swmbo has given me the nod to buy myself something. Torn between a snugpak elite 4, helle temagami or new boots (lowa or alt-berg). Hmmm.
