Rich, I have been debating going to the state liquor store and purchasing some Everclear for mirror cleaning because my mirror is as you describe yours. Also my break squeeks and my spider needs a little tweak.

My mirror is in serious need of cleaning too, and I don't recall ever having had a peek through your TK. 20" IIRC...? --- On Sun, 1/25/09, Jim Gibson <jimgibson00@yahoo.com> wrote:

Thank you so much. Rich. Maybe when the weather gets better (seems a long way off today) Maybe we can get together and we can tweak my TeleKit a bit. Jim Gibson

Another example of an incredible person is Patrick Wiggins. One night just for fun I Googled up Patrick Wiggins name and was completely amazed at the number of different locations that Patrick has been a contributor to. From what I could tell Pratrick’s comments always demonstrated a high level of understanding on several subjects and I could go on but it already sound like a speech you hear before someone gets a metal or something. One of the many things I admire, envy even, about Patrick is his ability to find and image things that are ephemeral. If I can find it I will try and post a photograph of the Columbia I took at Leeds (north of St. George) as it passed over head and was beginning to come apart. I never would have gotten that picture if it hadn’t been for Patrick’s direction. At any rate we have a lot of knowledgeable people on this list. I could go on about Daniel Turner, Joe Bauman and others but I better cut if off here. Jim Gibson
