I got about 80% done when poverty and ennui set in.
The fact that while building it, the rooftop tent on which I was basing it went from $800 to $1800 didn't help my motivation.
I don't know why the top 3 pics are showing sideways here, I have tried reorienting them before posting but they still come out sideways.
Given the dramas I'm having with my scope today, I am neither surprised at this additional failure, nor can I give an arse full of steam, so if you're interested, you'll have to turn your head.
Time for some more moonshine.
