Today is Pam's birthday and so Big Frank started the day with baking a cake. This is a spice cake, which Big Frank baked in a standard rectangular pan. Then after taking it out, Big Frank decided that he wanted a double decker cake. He had looked for two round cake pans but found them not. Not to be outdone, Big Frank took the cake out of the rectangular pan and then after cutting it in half, he stacked the two halves and applied cream cheese frosting. In the end with the frosting running out it turned out somewhat disappointing. See below:
Big Frank, in addition to the cake, gave her a telescope. This particular one is called the Celestron EQ70. It will allow her to observe the moon, the planets, and moons of the planets along with some of the constellations. We spent a good two hours putting the damn thing together. Big Frank sometimes wonders who are the nitwits that write the instructions on how to assembly such things. Big Frank tried Youtube as well and was disappointed. The best instructions were given by a guy speaking Hindi, a language Big Frank is not familiar with despite the fact that he his brother Fuzz often feigned knowledge of its cousin tongue, Punjabi. So Big Frank turned down the sound of the Hindi instructions and followed the assembly silently on film. In the end this is what Big Frank and Pam ended up with. See below:
The telescope works, but does not seem to be assembled 100% as intended. We are taking a break for now. The rest of the day is for Pam's birthday. The telescope will remain at home while we along with friends go out for dinner and drinks. Happy Birthday, Pam!
