I hear you Fred. For years now, I have been taking my practice rounds "in secret"; almost as if I were doing something illegal or something so shameful that I do not want my neighbours to know about it. But what it boils down to is that you end up not taking your shots and having to spend a half hour explaining what it is you are doing. Then invariably, your inquisitor walks away with that funny look on his face wondering why you need a sextant to find your location when your street address will do fine and further thinking that you are daft. Been cloudy and nasty in my part of the world so I have not seen Venus or the Moon in a week. Robert
