Keeping warm

Hey folks.
I would like to thanks John Kuhl, Bret Akers, and Eric Gage for recommending L.L. Bean's Baxter State parka here a year ago. My sweet wife just bought me one for Christmas and it kept me nice and toasty at a local dark sky site (Red Rocks) Saturday night, despite a low temperature of 8 degrees.
My poor Sky Commander was performing very sluggishly though. The text was coming up faint and very slowly on the LCD screen, until I placed a hand warmer heat pad on it. It worked wonders. Highly recommended in the gloves, too!

I recently picked up a trans Alaska extreme suit from Cabela's. They're currently on sale.

The nice thing about buying new warm clothes is the "new equipment curse". It's been unusually warm here for weeks. Unfortunately, it's wearing off.

Hi, if you hook your Sky Commander up to a portable battery, it will run the heater that comes inside.
