Probably better than the Leinenkugel and Taco Bell's mexican pizza I just ate.

I hope that was Sweet Tea.
Guess we officially have a convert.
Sweet tea is a Northern thing to.
Most of the stores/Gas Stations up there sell Milo's.
Looks like tomorrow morning there will be a very good pass of the SO-50 satellite. I've made contact with it once but it's not common to get great overhead passes like this.
"SO-50 carries several experiments, including a mode J FM amateur repeater experiment operating on 145.850 MHz uplink and 436.795 MHz downlink. The repeater is available to amateurs worldwide as power permits, using a 67.0 Hertz PL tone on the uplink, for on-demand activation. SO-50 also has a 10 minute timer that must be armed before use. Transmit a 2 second carrier with a PL tone of 74.4 to arm the timer.
The repeater consists of a miniature VHF receiver with sensitivity of -124dBm, having an IF bandwidth of 15 KHz. The receive antenna is a 1/4 wave vertical mounted in the top corner of the spacecraft. The receive audio is filtered and conditioned then gated in the control electronics prior to feeding it to the 250mW UHF transmitter. The downlink antenna is a 1/4 wave mounted in the bottom corner of the spacecraft and canted at 45 degrees inward."

My great aunt passed away a few weeks ago. She was 92.
We were friends since I could talk.
As time went on I realized that she lived a very comfortable life, and worked as the assistant to the CEO of one of Oregon's power plants. I'm not a hand-out guy, I'm more of "the best things in life are free" type. As often as she brought up her Will in her final years, I'd just as often tell her that I wasn't interested.
This week I learned...she left me just over a quarter of a million dollars. I'm still in shock.

Sorry to hear about your Great Aunt. :'(
Invest the money wisely, her gift will help you for life.
Here she is last September cuddling the neighbor's big baby, Capiche. As it happens, my wife and I own (mortgage) the house directly behind her, which, as it happens, belonged to my great-grandpa in the 20s.
Apparently great gramps was a bootlegger during prohibition, kept a little speakeasy in the basement, and every Sunday after Church, all the Irish Catholics came over to get loaded on bathtub gin. He was a quality inspector/supervisor for the USDA. He had everything at his fingertips.
Come to find out, 50% of this house is now mine. Well, was. Left it to my cousin to deal with and she did a short sale on the damn thing... not so much as a $5 lien on that property... but it's definitely dated and needed overhauls.
I think I need an advisor or a mentor or... something. I keep thinking I should put this bequest somewhere it can grow on us a little... but then again, paying off 3/4 of my mortgage sounds reeeeally good right now... I honestly don't know what to do. I was perfectly content as a nephew.
