The Memorial Day Weekend has come and gone, but we made the most of it by hosting a computer LAN party on Sunday. We had 20 adults / teens and 2 infants; it was the largest LAN party here at Big Al Computers.

After harvesting the lettuce and radishes on the second shelf, it’s time to plant some flowers and see what develops. ‘Green with Envy’ has been a very successful gaming computer build for 2025.

Ok, I decided to join Blue Sky and see if this is any better than Facebook. Some of my friends have baled from Facebook because of the politics and spammers that cause issues. I hope Blue Sky works for me.
As for today's exciting news, we are dining in the district again.
