Happy Sunday kids!

Curby, I keep getting stuff from Audi too. But I have no interest in buying another car right now so I'm hoping this one just keeps on chuggin' along. I'm glad Marty got a free replacement... but I'd be watching that thing like a hawk in case it happened again. Yikes. Do you think I could get just regular non-prescription lenses put into existing sunglass frames? I really like two pair of my current ones but they both have a big scratch right in the line of sight.

I have no idea where the rest of the week went. Thursday I helped Sara (the estate sale lady) some more. Friday I took videos and pictures for a whole slew of listings. Yesteday I ran by the local auction but there was nothing I wanted so I helped at the estate sale. Of course I picked up some more things at the end no one else had bought. Is that a surprise?!?

Last night my friend and I went to see Air Supply at the local casino concert hall. They are my favorite band and it's their 50tth anniversary tour so of course I couldn't miss it. Kind of amazing that it's still the same two guys that started out in 1975!

This morning I slept in verrrry late. I remember Liam telling me he was leaving, but I don't have any clue where he actually went. I'm assuming he took YF with him because he's not in his room. Or else he's been kidnapped LOL.

Alright, off to wash up some of yesterday's treasures and continue down the family room cleaning path. I've actually made BIG progress there so hopefully in the next day or two it will be DONE.

Hi Kids!

Dee Jay, I am quite nervous about that observatory going up in flames. There are no fire hydrants where we live either. I always had good luck with Audi's too, I'd buy another one anytime. Marty had the Curbymobile up to 140 yesterday on the side road coming home. When we went out later in the pickup, he didn't try that. The eye doctor could probably order replacement lenses for you, but their sunglass lenses aren't as dark as regular ones. Maybe see if you can find the company online to get replacement lenses.

That is nice of you to help out at estate sales and no I'm not suprised you picked up some things.

How fun to go to a concert. I like Air Supply too. I remember cruising around in my car and singing along with them. I am sure have them in my iTunes library.

I hope YF wasn't kidnapped. Someone on FB messaged me to confirm I was posting all of your listings on FB. He's kind of a jerk so my only reply was "yep".

We were up late playing telescopes. Marty's automation has bugs that keep popping up. He put my scope out there but it's not designed to leave plugged in all the time and ever if you want to move it to something right by what it's looking it, it goes back to "home" and looks for it from there. So the cord keeps getting wrapped around the base. I don't know what we are going to do about it. Marty has to carry it in and out for me if I use it from the house. It's too big for my tiny hand and awkward to carry. It's not heavy though. I got about 5 pictures but Marty shut it off when he went out there at about 1 a..m. to tweak something and I can't get to the telescope to get picture. Darn.

We went to breakfast yesterday and ran back to town in the afternoon for a hardware store run. Biggest purchase was a tool chest on wheels for the observatory. I enjoyed the lighting in Lowes, they have good diamond light.

I caught up on my recent TV series this weekend and not much else.

Laters,
Curby

I need to get Marty to process this, but here's a galaxy I shot last night. It's M51, the Whirlpool galaxy.

Happy Monday kids!

Curby, one of these days you're going to get a picture of a UFO with little green men zipping through the universe! I'm reporting that YF was officially NOT kidnapped LOL. Somehow Liam convinced him to go auctioning, which is a rare event indeed. There was probably some sort of "inducement" (i.e., bribe!) involved. I've said it before and I'll say it again: THANK YOU for being one of my followers! Not sure what's up with the guy who asked you about sharing the posts... I love the lighting in Costco as well as Lowes and Home Depot!

This morning I went back to the estate sale location to help the lady pack up her tables and other stuff. There is A LOT of stuff left... I hope the family isn't disappointed. Then I ran by the auction place up there because they had a rug I wanted to look at. I'm really glad I did -- once I saw it in person I talked myself out of bidding. BUT... I got six dozen glasses in tonight's auction that I need to pick up tomorrow morning.

When I got back after the chiro today I realized I had never put up my Easter listings so I *hopped* to it. ( <-- ) I only had two things so it didn't take long at all, and one of the items I listed has already sold.

I've got the weekly call tomorrow afternoon for one of the organizations I'm doing the books for. Wednesday we head to New Mexico to visit my best friend from law school and his partner so I need to (as always!) get some laundry done and pack up. I just did my nails so that's one thing off the list that I won't need to worry about tomorrow.

That's about all I have to report.

Hi Kids!

Dee Jay, that's good YF was not kidnapped. LOL to catching some little green men zipping by. To be fair, I've never seen a thing I couldn't explain in all the hours I've been out in the wilderness and under a dark sky. There was a Kujo incident once. I was sitting in the trunk of my '66 mustang watching for meteors. All of a sudden I hear very heavy breathing, panting and something banging on my car. Out of the dark appears this big dog with crazy eyes and STUNK. He drank out of one guy's coffee cup. We all kind of freaked out. Another time we heard some really strange noise that kept getting closer. It turned out to be geese walking down the pavement probably because it was warm. They must have detected our presence, because they actually walked around us in the field.

No problem on following you and forwarding your posts on FB. I hope someone buys from you someday. And you must be channeling memories from my mom, those gray leaf glasses were something my mom had. Not that style, but definitely that pattern.

Good diamond lighting in stores certainly get me more likely to shop there.

Good deal to get some more glasses. I am sure the estate lady appreciates your help. And the best part about chiros are that giant heating pad.

You are building up the miles on your trips. Marty FINALLY got his expenses for Sydney approved. I'll believe it when the money gets deposited in our account.

I got another two galaxies last night. I left the scope taking pictures all night. I was excited with how they turned out. And my new Snoopy phone case arrived today. I needed a new one because Marty and my phone cases were the exact same color of blue and that was confusing.

Laters,
Curby
