A few weeks ago I posted for carrying case ideas for a PST.
Well, our own Solsearcher, graciously offered me one for free, just pay for shipping (over the Canadian/US boarder).
We both figured about 30-35 bucks. He got the estimate and it was higher
Well he shipped it to me extremely gracefully at no charge to me.
I am completely stunned by this gift, simply beyond any words.
I also want to thank him for his mentoring to all of us here in the Solar Forum here on TSS,
He is a great asset

Happy ro do it for you Jeff , lets hope we get some activity now so you will have a reason to take it out of the case !
Well, you didn't have to pack those clouds in there
I also am waiting on the pollen to die down a bit.
That stuff is nasty when it gets on optics.
Thanks again sir!
