Re: Jim Dires February images and write-up.<BR>
<BR>
He sent an e-mail and said that he was complete with the February objects. I told him to just send them to you. He imaged again last night from 1:00 AM till 5. I think he is working on and might have all of the OC objects complete for the next four or more months already. <BR>
<BR>
He may have just posted them on his website, or has not had time as he has been up basically two or three nights in a row.<BR>
<BR>
Almost like E.E. Barnard...they called him the man that never slept. This was during his employment at Vanderbilt, and later Yerkes. I really wished that I had stayed up all Friday night and had cancelled my bike ride on Saturday morning. The only problem...if I stay up all night it takes me three or four days to recover. <BR>
<BR>
There was a time when I would observe from midnight, till the dawn, take a shower, get ready and go to work. I would them ride with my group for 50 miles, and then do it all over again. Sometimes I was glad to see a cloudy sky, rain, snow or other just to get some rest. I just could not stand to have a clear night and not be outside. <BR>
