Dale Gribble: Astronomer...?

I dig "King of the Hill".

I try to catch an episode whenever I can, and recently I caught Dale Gribble with a telescope. He built a recreation tower without any foundation, but that's another story.

The telescope....

It looks like a 4" Refractor minus a diagonal and probably .096 eyepieces. It's on a tube leg alt-az mount with a single pivot point, (most likely a ball joint), with a camera tripod handle. No focusing knobs...so it looks like a "pirate-like" method of focusing....push and pull.

Not very astronomically useful I say. So Gribble uses it for neighborhood espionage.

I observe things.

I love King of the Hill. Growing up in W. Texas, I KNOW these guys.

I frequently find Hank mirroring my own neuroses back to me, especially about, ahem, bathroom issues.

Thanks for sharing.

Patrick,

I hear this often....that King of the Hill captures Texan attitudes and flavor.

Heh.
