One small step
Today I drove 150km to Bathurst, NSW where I met a man with a suspiciously Scottish accent who claimed he lived a further 100km north of Bathurst.
We met in a nondescript carpark. He opened the back of his wagon and showed me his wares.
I passed him a brown paper bag filled with legal tender and we loaded 70kg of steel pier into my trailer.
One small step towards my observatory build.

Re: One small step
Most excellent! Lovely piece of hardware!

I drink tea, I read books, I look at stars when I'm not cursing clouds. It's what I do.
