April is turning out to be a pretty good month.  I think 4 million
measurements so far, and I will run tonight. Hmmm!  Looking at my stacks
of CDs, I see that April 2004 was also a good month.  So we are making
hay while the sun is doing it's usual shine.  August and September are
the really good months here.

Last night was the best running this year.  The sky was clear, and all
three cameras ran without problems.  This is the first time this year
that everything ran OK.  Since last night was quite good, I will use it
to make a new set of flats.  It is not often that I get a sky that is
worth using for flats.

I continue to get stronger.  It will be interesting to see what my PSA
does next week.  If it is down again, then there will probably be a
nation wide run on hot chilli peppers.  My basic care doctor noted that
pepper pills are a lot cheaper than some of the treatments that I have
been receiving.  About 5 cents vs $10,000.00 or so per treatment.

On the theory that it is good to spend money on things that won't be
needed if I get better, I have put in a chair lift to take me up and
down stairs.  Works great.

Stay tuned folks, I did not expect to be here now.
