One of these days I'll get the telescope out along with the ASI 1600MM Pro and work on some photography. Haven't been able to get out into any dark sky areas, and the trip we planned to the Davis Moutnains State Park (dark area in the west part of Texas near Mexico - Big Bend National Park area) has been curtailed due to them being closed until recently for camping reservations. Target is to go there and stay for a week in the Winnebago and take both telescopes and use the cameras with them. Will probably target in July thru August as there are better views, especially of the Milky Way - which I want to get some time lapse photos of. I've probably got more invested in my astronomy stuff than Gary makes in a year. It's nice to be retired and pulling in right at 100K a year. And as for the site... it's the same that it's been since it was brought into being. No wipes, restores or anything. And the users that are there are actual users, not made up ones or folks that came over to troll. Gary worries to much about others.... and he would NOT be welcome as a user on any of my sites, even if he could afford the hobbies that they are targeted towards. And, as an aside, the site has been live for almost 2 years... I don't even visit it that much, just to check the RSS feeds to see if anything new interests me..... oh, and to moderate the users that are caught by the anti-spam functions.

It would bother him more if everyone ignored him... don't think he could take the lack of attention. He seems to live to be trolled.

I'll flat out say it... who the fuck would have any interest in joining his site other than to troll him?

Gary's theme song of the month

Gary doesn't make mistakes..... He IS the mistake.

Can guarantee that..... wouldn't waste the time registering on his truly world renown shit shack.

I've got some Mitchell's that are probably older than you are. They belonged to my Dad and the newer stuff is still junk compared to the older that I have. I really like the smallest one as it makes a perfect perch reel.

It's cheap shit. Long time ago it was decent, but the new stuff is absolute crap. Diawa makes a better reel. Shimano, Abu Garcia and Pflueger make some nice ones also. I really like my Shimano Stradic CI4+. Shakespeare is what you give to the 3 year olds so that when it does go into the lake, you haven't lost much.

Non registered copyright is honestly basically useless. Open to much dissension on whether it meets the requirements. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right. The way Gary is trying to do would most likely be found outside of the parameters of copyright here in the States. With all the alias posting Gary does, it would be impossible for him to prove who actually wrote what. For those who are interested, registering official copyright does cost. courtesy of https://www.copyright.gov/about/fees.html [ATTACH=full]2471._xfImport[/ATTACH]

I know in the US you have to pay a fee to copyright (legally) anything.... wonder if it is the same over in the UK and if so, has Gary done so.

I don't even play his game. Haven't gone to his site in over a year easily and have absolutely no interest in wasting time on joining it.

Wonder if he'd get upset if I browsed there with my iPhone 11 Pro. Was going to wait on the 12 since it probably will have 5G but my X suffered screen issues - it separated from the metal frame! Think the battery getting hot caused it to swell which forced the screen out. Cheap ass Chinese batteries!!!

I always figured aids/hiv would get Roy first.

I remember that thread. Poor boy, guess he just couldn't handle the facts being handed to him...

If you talking about mine.. it was provided in the chat box... but here you go to make it easier for you. Astro What? Tracy's Musings

Then you need to observe a little closer. I haven't said shit about Gary until he posted his little snide snippet in his chat. And you can tell him it wasn't $10,000 worth of guitars, but nearer $12,000 and then for the telescopes it was around $3500. Oh, BTW, still have most of the guitars... only ones I sold were the cheap MiM ones - and since I got them on sale (and had discount points on top of that) I still made a profit on selling them.
