Birding Scope

This afternoon we got out the new birding scope and set it up. After some collaboration, we managed to get the finding scope calibrated to matching the main scope aim. Tomorrow morning we'll go on a birding walk at the state park and perhaps get a chance to use the scope. We'll need a target willing to sit still while we set up and aim the scope. Fortunately the park usually provides lots of birds to watch.

This morning we went to dance to Darryl Lipscomb, as usual. Ken has been talking about having his ring resized, since it's loose enough to fall off on occasion. We asked if anyone had a jeweler to recommend, and one of the ladies gave a glowing recommendation for Rico's Jewelry and gave us directions. It turned out that our friend Doris had several rings to resize, and she suggested that we go together. It's a good thing we did, because we all agreed that if we had been alone, we'd have definitely have been put off by the location and appearance of the shop in a run-down strip mall, and by the limited English skills of the staff. Encouraged by the recommendation and bolstered by having a friend along, we went ahead and left the rings.
