Things I have lost in the dark

[West End Wendy]

1. A slow motion control knob

2. The safety nut on the end of my counterweight shaft

3. An eyepiece lens cap

4. The plastic cover to one of the controls on my RA drive

5. A washer from my accessory tray

6. Various bits of foam used as dew shields

7. A 2003 Honda Civic in immaculate condition.

Okay, I lied about the last one.

If you see any of the others, will you let me know?

Sense of humour - when I triped over the earth rod in the middle of the lawn and gashed my leg.

[DrNeb]

I think we should keep calling him Wendy.

the nickname has been established and it's not going anywhere!

my shoe once, whilst observing in a field, there was a large muddy section that i didnt notice in the dark and whilst negotiating myself round the scope i heard a loud "suction" noise followed by a resulting "bootie"

Lost my flashlight. It turned off when it hit the ground and I couldn't find it afterwards. Somewhat ironic.

Same here. I think my dog has the hots for the dog in the house behind me. The other dog is having none of it though. He runs for his life when my Chara jumps the wall. Yet another reason to cut the trees down in my garden. The dog can climb them like a monkey. I once spotted some movement about half way up one of the trees (60ft tall trees). It was my dog........a Yorkie.

I lost all my camera equipment in the middle of Keilder forest at 3 in the morning when I used to follow the RAC rally. I left the case behind the car and drove off along with about 30,000 other spectators.

3 weeks later I got a call from a guy living about 10 miles from home saying he had found it but it was too late the insurance had paid up and new camera kit purchased

[Adrian]

The feeling in my fingers and toes.
