Lookin' good, mate!

You're a busy lad. Haven't even got the lid on your ob, and you're off into radio astronomy. When do you sleep?

Hi Barry,

Great job! We need a finish picture with all the goodies inside.

Jim,
As requested, finish picture. goodies inside coming soon...just got it on today and as I was screwing the last pieces of weather strip on, the biggest thunderstorm hit us and gave me a fully succesful test run in wild weather!

God and His timing!!! That Dude has helped me all the way like you wouldn't believe!!!!

Barry, you gotta be walkin' on air! That dome sits so sweeeet on its new home! Very good looking! Congratulations!

Know what you mean about the "Dude" and his sense of timing (and, sense of humor). You had to be beaming when you saw no leaks in your first storm. That's "quality control", for sure!
