    Aww, haha. Nope, we're working on taking a bunch of test exposures for a new instrument that is in the process of getting funding and being built. They're taking the test data now to ensure their theory is correct and they can actually get the science out of it, before they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on fiber optics for the various cartridges. Which means that we had to be very closely tied to the observing and I don't get to just queue up an hours worth of exposures and sit back.

    About an hour to go and then bedtime!

    Checkin' in again, wishing I had a beer!

    Of course, it doesn't help that a co-worker and myself are talking about homebrewing...

    Just finished sorting the m27 links. Paid for 5000 links received 4300. Maybe they thought no one would count them at that quantity. Did find 5 links for 308 mixed in as well.

    Dang, thats a pretty big difference. Did they say approximately 5000? Have you weighed an individual one, calculated what 5000 should weigh and then weighed the whole batch? Going to complain and get money back or was it a FTF sale?

    Have not weighed them as I don't have an accurate scale here right now that can handle that weight. It was for 5000 not an estimated 5k. I figured a 1 to 2% variation. so at 5k and 2% it would light or heavy 100 links, instead its short 14%. It was a deal thru anothe online forum out of state, so I PMed the person and will wait to hear back. At $40 per 1k + Shipping that basically is $30.
