You've got more than a few redheaded stepchildren in that photo!

Its a celestron 130SLT, which is a 5 inch Newtonian. Computerized mount mind you, although we didn't have enough cloud-free time last night to try that out, so this was all manual alignment. Photo's were just through the eyepiece using my cell phone.

Got a new telescope a few weeks ago, so naturally we've had 2 weeks of continual cloud and rain. Got a small window of opportunity Sunday night to play with it, and got some nice views of the moon and Saturn.

One of the local stations used to play die hard a lot, and on that scene they had the worst voice-over ever that still makes me chuckle. John McClane starts off his infamous "Yippee ki yay" line, and then a voice easily two octaves deeper (we're talking James Earl Jones baritone here) cuts in...

I like the pants!

The character on the left (Samus, form Metroid, unless I'm mistaken) is a woman.

Why would anyone ruin good whiskey by mixing it with soda?

More like humans are stupid. We're pretty much the only species which reacts to poison ivy - even other primates tend to be fine with it. We had a lot on our property when we bought it - between goats and pigs most of it is gone.

There may be separate potable and non-potable water systems; its not uncommon in building built to conserve water. So the sink water may be safe, while the toilet water isn't (other than for the obvious reasons).

Earlier in the year (2018) I remember listening to a podcast where someone was interviewed who was making dry-hopped water at home. I wasn't smart enough to bookmark the podcast and now I cannot find it. Anyone remember the show/episode? I think it may have been an experimental brewing or basic...

About 18,000 km/hr (~11,100 mph). Which I think is a new track record!
