Monday 28th 40F after a hard white frost.
Tried imaging all morning but the results were worse than yesterday.
I am sick of everything that is happening at the moment. Now I have unburdened myself on Beacon Hill's crap worm wheel sets on an astronomy forum. SGL. I should have shared my acute disappointment with their wares. If only to avoid others suffering similar problems.
Not to mention their law breaking indifference to customers and their consumer rights. This was back in August 2016. It seems they have found themselves a new machinist. The last one was supposedly an octogenarian working in an unheated shed. No doubt working for a pittance. But that is probably just me being cynical.
I worked for a while as a self-employed, clock restorer. All the antique shop owners wanted the work done for almost nothing. With lots of shortcuts thrown in for good measure. They would do house clearances to fleece recent widows. Then hike the price of the clocks to match their own insatiable greed. With the rest going into the nearest household furniture, auction house.
I had delusions of grandeur and wanted to do a full dismantle, clean, repair and rebuild. Followed by traditional silvering of the dial where appropriate. They just wanted to move product at lowest cost and maximum profit.
