Setting up for a star watching night with my beautiful wife, found a spot with minimal light polution.
Crickets, blankets, and an occasional emergency vehicle siren. Ahhh the sounds of semi-rural life.

This is my preferred pass time, star gazing, long time ago we toke a desert trip on the edges of the empty quarter in the UAE, we spent a night sleeping on the sand and gazing at stars, the stars are so beautiful and the sky is so dark( far away from city lights), no wonder prophets come from the desert areas, the desert and stars make you think of the creator and the vastness of the universe and how little we are.
 
Well I am off to Egypt for two weeks!
Hope your not going to Cairo mate, fantastic place but a bit too lively for most tourists at the moment. Fingers crossed you have a fantastic time anyway.
 
That sounds wonderful. We have too much rain lately to do without at least a tube tent overnight. How big is the empty quarter? Thats in the "corner" next to Saudi Arabia isn't it?

Wow where did you get the parts Martin ?

Rocking - Horse Sh** mate !! Got a model steam engineer to make the coil ! Shame my father died 15 years ago - he was a research engineer and would have sorted this with his eyes closed ! Luckily I think I remember a lot of what he taught me as a youngster :)
 
Nice one! My driver is a genius with things like that! He fixed my rotojet casting machine! Stripped down the casting arm to discover the problem, cost me £15!
 
Completing my weekends NHRA fix, going the Finals today. Yesterday Ron Capps did walk away from this one ok, and is in the finals today due to previous qualifying runs that kept him in. Track temps might be a little hot and may not have the record breaking track numbers like they did in 2012, but looks to be a good day.





Edit: Capps won over DSR teammate Matt Hagen in the Funny Car finals (everything was new on the chassis from Sat. explosion).
