While I wait for Wayne Parker and SkyShed to finish my XL3 pod (a 3 pod bay version) there's plenty to do. One of the major projects is the installation of a 100' network cable out to the pod's location. The install required digging a trench and laying a underground conduit for the cable. One end terminates in a yard shed near the pod and the other end inside my house. The cable pulling under the house required a trip into the crawl-space under the house -- YUCKK!
Anyway the cable is pulled and ready to go. Now I just need the pod :-)

The SkyPOD odyssey begins...
Actually the odyssey to bring a SkyShed POD began in June 2006 when I saw the first POD ad on AstroMart. That was the beginning of a long wait for the POD to go into production. Well the wait ended on April 3rd and I now have one on order :-) I'll be blogging a bit more often now as I follow my POD's travels to my backyard.
What is a POD? It is probably the most innovative small observatory to come along in years. Check out this link for details: http://www.skyshedpod.com/.
