Doing good. Not much new but I have been to Cars and Coffee in Irvine (lots of videos on YouTube). It's an informal weekly gathering for performance cars and car people. It's in the parking lot of the Mazda HQ building in Irvine CA. 300+ cars and maybe 1200+ people, happens every Saturday from about 6AM to 9AM. No charge, just show up and check out the scene. Kit cars, tuner cars, exotics, muscle cars, sports cars, classics, Mustangs, Vetts and 911's in bunches. Went with my son-in-law Scott and his dad. They were expecting 30-40 cars at most, they almost didn't know what to make of it. We arrived in my Z and Scott's WRX-STI and we parked in the exhibitors area with all of the cool cars.
We have a 60mm finder scope with a 30-90 zoom eyepiece (that's what we used for the eclipse since the sun is so bright you don't need a large scope for most observations), an 80mm refractor and an 8" (200mm) Schmidt-Cassegrian with a computerized mount. We also have an assortment of eyepieces. It would be really great if our skills were as good as our equipment.
Been fine, just got back from a blitz run to St. George, Utah to see the eclipse. Up on Sunday and back on Monday, 800 miles round trip. Got a great view too. You get to do this sort of thing when your wife is a retired science teacher with an interest in astronomy.
