Oh yes.
Hey Joe, at least you didn't get hurt. A scope that size could do some damage to a person if it fell on him/her. Good Luck, Debbie

Thanks! The only harm was to the ears of our friends at the Wedge Overlook, who probably heard a bad exclamation or two. Best wishes, Joe
Joe, No such thing as a "bad" expletive if it's delivered correctly. Choosing and using the correct expletive for the moment can speak volumes during a time that would otherwise render most folks speechless. For instance you could have said, "Jeez, I dropped my telescope" which would do very little to help the hurt, OR, you could pick "one key expletive" and demonstrate your mastery of it's use, by using it in various forms within a single sentence, like, "I blanking can't believe, I dropped my blanking telescope in the blanking dirt, and now the blanking, blank is blanked". Won't your homeowner's or Auto insurance cover it? When this sort of stuff happens to me, I will do one of two things. I will place it behind my neighbors car and let them back over it and blame them for the damage, or I may choose to back over it myself. Either way the "blanking, blank" is covered. ;) Just kidding.

Well, It's in the Meade shop now. Depending on how or what they do, I may have to limber up my swearing machinery. I have a solid and inventive set of oaths I can call upon, having worked as a deckhand in my youth! -- Joe
