So I am the type of guy that when someone told me to make a checklist in order not to forget anything when I prepared for an evening out, I thought by myself … SURE!

That was until the day I invited a friend and his son to come and have a look at the stars … and they drove over 100km to meet me and I forgot to bring my counterweights.

So …
