Description

The construction of a pier and roll-away shed is in progress, but close enough to allow a quick test. Last night the skies cleared for a couple of hours and I collected the data for this image. Wow, the steel pier was rock solid and so much easier to use than a tripod. We should complete the pier and shed project in a couple of days. I'll post pictures of my new toy box.
