Since it's unclear just how much I've won at this stage
I'll prioritise my list, with what I'd do with a small win upwards...
1. Celebrate ($10.00 or a fee ticket is a good enough excuse isn't it?)
2. By some small gifts for friends and family (that still includes me, OK?)
3. Buy a small property out of town away from the lights (Or put money towards it).
4. Buy Lyn a new car.
5. Set up a small obs for my scope on 3.
6. Buy some more significant gifts or distribute with friends and family and some worthwhile charities (yet to pass scrutiny
).
7. Buy a new BMW tourer (bike, of course!)
8. Set up a rather more elaborate obs on 3 than 5 including a new scope, cameras, computers, etc... (this is a real dilemma... decisions, decisions...
)
9. Semi retire and start part time consultancy to allow more time for enjoying life (i.e. astronomy + touring + beach, etc)
10. Retire early to seriously concentrate on wearing out said toys aforementioned
.
Yeah, dreaming can be great fun, but sometimes the decisions just get too much and a dose of reality is required to straighten out the thoughts...
