Let's see... in the past to weeks, I've 'invented' a rather ugly hood/muffler for the Tiger's noisy direct-vented (no ductwork) furnace. Just for temporary use at night, it dropped noise in the bunk by almost 1/2 when running. Then I relocated the thermostat to within reach from the bunk... much better. I like to sleep cold, but hate to get up in the cold.
Then I drove it down to the Brevard NC area. Walked to one waterfall at DuPont State Forest. The trails were still too icy to go to the others. Spent a pleasant night in almost-empty Davidson River NFS CG, woke to a violent t-storm, then came home. Took it to a club stargaze Friday night (_great_ skies), downtown curb camping Saturday all day, and again for solo observing Sunday night. Dimly but definitely saw a fading supernova 12 million light years away in M82 (SN2014J).
