I know someone who gave her aging mother a urine testing kit at Christmas: but even better it had several tests in the pack, and was partly used... :shock:
Telescopes: 12" f5 dob, Celestron CPC800, 150mmf5 Celestron achro, Tak TSA102, TV76, ETX125...
Binos: Steiner Wildlife XP 10x26, Swarovski 8x30 Habicht, Zeiss SFL 8x40, Vanguard Endeavour 10.5x45, Fuji FMTR-SX 10x50, Tak 22x60, Orion Resolux 15x70
Eyepieces: way too many (is that possible?), but I do like my TV 32mm plossl, 13mm Nagler T6, 27mm Panoptic and 3-6mm Nagler zoom, plus Fujiyama 18mm and 25mm orthos and Tak 7.5mm LE

I had a bit of a mishap this afternoon. I accidently consumed invisible ink.
Now I'm in the ER waiting to be seen.

I've also had to put up again with my dim work colleague.
He told me yesterday, "The wife left a note on the fridge saying, 'This isn't working. I'm leaving,' But what a lie! I open the fridge door and it's working fine."

I got lunch at a drive-through window today. That was enough social interaction for the day.
