I'm running DietPi, which is a fork of Raspbian Lite with some extra performance tweaks. It also does a time check at bootup. As I mentioned, the recent storm was affecting my power, and the Pi boots up faster than my network does. So, it wasn't able to do the time check. All I had to do was perform a restart, and (I think) it was fixed.

Doesn't bother me at all! (o_-) If you hadn't mentioned that my time was off, I probably would never have even noticed. How does the mSATA connect to the Pi? Via GPIO or USB? Because the Pi3 is limited to USB 2.0, and that wouldn't be a very good experience, I think.

Neither do I, actually. I mean, you could have just started the message in a different area...or there's the ability to forward to a different area, at
least in Mystic...
