Craig thanks for the kind thoughts , 2 nights off after taking these allowed me to get some planting done in our garden and 3 hr. naps helped get my legs to ease up. I've got to limit my activity to keep the severe arthritis and nerve pain from taking over. It happens every time I push it and the Norco just puts me to sleep allowing my condition to ease . These are from Sun. and though it was good stargazing , astrophotography conditions are in the very good to excellent category . The system that was supposed to hit moved north allowing me to go for it again tonight with a full moon and my legs and back feeling better. My luck !

Good to hear, Ronnie.
We were socked in for several days here, or drifting clouds which wreak havoc with PHD2.
Today looks promising though, the Sun is shining. And the Clear Sky chart shows good for tonight.
Meanwhile, I'm going hot and heavy with some new found processing tid-bits with old data.
But I think I'm finding the limitations of my compooter. It ain't no spring chicken...

I do know that nerve pain problem well. Gabapentin/Oxycodone are my friends. I just had a hip replacement surgery on my left side. Relief is about 80% there. The bone spurs in my neck cause pain and tingling all the way to my fingers. Then the herniated discs in the L3-5 area and ACL/MCL in the left knee. 4 years in Pro Football took it's toll on me and my parts. 3 concussions, oh well.
I am glad you are feeling better and getting some relief. I hope it lasts for a while. Good luck and keep looking up Ronnie.

I've taken Lyrica and that stuff turns me into a mean swearing drunk according to my CNA Alanna . Concussions aren't no joke, that's serious stuff I wish you clear skies Craig.

We have a celebrity in our midst Sonny, you should've revealed your elite status to us sooner . Now you're going to get your just reward praise " Craig Fair former RR and SF 49'er }. Woohoo ! I converse with a Celeb, that's totally AWESOME ! Getting back on topic Oxy's block me up and the Hydro is manageable as long as I eat a lot of fruit and veggies, I've been prescribed a plethora of jams and jellies {ha ha} of lidocaine that with my Tens unit offer mild relief of muscle spasms and shooting pain . Helluva way to live isn't it? My knees and shoulders are trashed from working as a professional painter for yrs. of new construction and repaints and commercial of everything imaginable . I did it all and live with the result daily.

Sounds about right. Having known several that went on to play for big name college football teams, they are all now beat up with constant pain reminders. As for me, I wasn't big enough for football. Nobody wanted me. Played baseball instead. As a high school pitcher, was undefeated. But really only started only one game, went the distance and won it 1-0. Other than relief work, saw a lot of bench time. Senior year, only got 4 at bats, and 4 hits, including one that broke up a no hitter against us. But the major league scouts just must have not been around on the days I got my chances.
Growing up in Pennsylvania, spring weather was never very good, and when we were finally able to venture outside for practice in March, we had to use the parking lot because the field was all mud. Well the track team was out too in the parking lot and the sprinters were setting up and practicing down the 1st base line. Wasn't a problem for most of the team. They all batted right handed. My turn, I'm batting left handed, and on that occasion, everything thrown to me produced a line drive down the first base line scattering the sprinters. I still remember the track coach running over yelling for us to stop!
Now just don't get confused out there in the dark and mistake your scope setup for a tackling dummy!

I'll tell ya some nights Jim , I feel like "kicking my kit down the road" , this hobby has taught me patience and perseverance that I lost control of years ago. I played " SAY" soccer as FB for 1 yr. in "77" had to wear a hockey helmet to protect my head, ended up getting a broken leg which ended that. Craig , you was one mean looking , hitting machine in your day.
