Re: [ATM] glass blank

Hi Jerry,

Even if you don't wait until you die of old age and chop just 1/10 of that
wood, you'd get $900.  That's enough to buy you a BVC 24" F5 pregenerated
blank for example . Not to mention that the workout might have a positive
effect on your health .Other people have to pay to go to the gym and achieve
the same effect .
 If you decide to skip the beer you may use the savings to purchase other
needed parts for the telescope and again increase your lifespan .

best regards,
matt tudor
