Its great to see you on the list again.  I figured you had lost interest in
our
little ramblings.  I for one would be interested in hearing about your mirror
coating exploits.  I have gotten into Anodizing,(a much less expensive
enterprise;)
I was hoping to have finished something by now but my time seems to be getting
directed to more mudane enterprises of late.

Now that is interesting.  Have you considered going into the coating business
to pay for all that equipment before the wife threatens to disown you?

Happy coating.
