Floater

Now surely that would only be to ensure delivery can be taken during working hours?

Are you suggesting/implying some subterfuge here, Derek?

Heaven forfend!

Mrs Floater says I must be mistaken to imagine such nuance ... (bless her).

Parents are wise.

Nice one, Dom.

But that's another case with space left to fill ...

... I anticipate that this thread will run forever!

Another example, perhaps: 'invest' = 'splash out'.

Derek, I apologise if you are annoyed at me being your 'mirror'. I hope that's not the case, though (no pun intended), and you see it as it's meant, just fun.

Mrs Floater has warned me before - several times, unfortunately - about my idea of 'fun' not being to everyone's taste!

Without doubt, your EP collection is awesome - but I shall await with some glee the next post that has the words 'I'm done' in it. :-))

... I now really am done on eyepieces until ...

No need to comment here, except to wonder if it's Groundhog Day again. Nope! There it is - post #2211 ...

:-)

... and it's a full house. Then I'm done, until ...

Derek, you seem to have forgotten who we are. We know things about these things ...

Oh my! That's an awful lot of expensive empty space.

Yes, I think I am getting close to having all the eyepieces I need, Stu

Please forgive me this lovely Scottish double positive: Aye, right!

That's a busy looking case, Fozzie. And still a bit of space left ...

A lovely, busy-looking case.

Maximum use of space and an evident desire to craft even fractions of the centimetre cubes! A brave man indeed, Avtar ...

Well done, sir.

Nice case; nice contents; and nice space(s) left ...

Everybody knows that nature abhors a vacuum.

Beanz meanz spase in the case.

Nice one, Ian.

'Tart'!? Anything with green-and-black in it is bound to be tasteful ...

... my incomplete EP case

When evolution is involved who could ever describe something as 'complete'?

Nice new case and EPs but ...

... and I think I'm well and truly done

Och! This thread has gone frayed.

It'll be the whisky that gets the blame, I warrant!

... Seems the more I have the worse the weather is getting, what happened to the cold crystal clear winter nights ...

Ha! We have the culprit, folks!

I still think the eyepiece storeage area that Tim Wetherell made for his fantastic 8" refractor is the best I've seen. Come to mention it the scope is one of the best I've seen too

Here's mine, doubles as a seat.

I'm happy to see this thread run forever if this is the sort of thing we're heading towards. The 'seat' was enough to make my jaw drop and then when I saw that beautiful scope, storage space - and the lighting/setting - Mrs Floater rushed to get me a brandy. Bless her.

... This can only end badly for my bank balance.

Correct! QED.

Very nice addition. Quality glass requires quality whisky, just like qualty whisky needs quality glass

... and quality people.

The exercise matting is a great idea, Mike.

Now, where did my wife leave that mat ...

Dude/Gaidis your posts indicate an amazing incoming and outgoing of EPs that sometimes leaves me breathless ...

The sheer energy of throughput would be enough to power a small town! (With suitably shaded and astronomy friendly lighting, of course!)

Love this thread, so here I go.

My latest milestone on what is the EP case journey. Destination unknown ...

This is it!

Having taken delivery of my 40mm EP, I will not be buying any more eyepieces for some considerable time. I intend to work with these and build my experience looking through them.

And I have avoided inserting any question marks or ellipses - because I have made up my mind. Too much time (and money) spent on researching and hunting down the EPs and filters I had decided would cover all bases for me and my scopes.

So no more scouring the classifieds, ABS, Astroboot or eBay. I'm done. I'm there. It's complete. Over. Sorted.

Thanks for looking, as the ads might say.
