After the last day of the tech summit, we had a sales meeting, then we all had beer and tacos.

My new laptop showed up, and it's damn quick, with 16Gb of memory.  I think I might end up having to replace some of my home systems now :o)

After a day of meetings, we had a team building exercise - we had to come up with a dinner menu from a pile of ingredients.  Our team cooked fish, followed by pear crumble.  We came 3rd out of 5.

We had our support mini summit at the office, then decamped to the hotel for the sales awards dinner.

We spent the day in the office like normal wage slaves, then went to the sales dinner at the hotel.

After breakfast, I packed the van up and drove to San Francisco for the work tech summit.  The car park I usually dump the van in was shut, so I ended up abandoning it in a different car park and hiked it to the hotel.  Yay.

After tinkering with the van a little, I went over to the airfield and took the plane up for a couple of circuits.  The weather wasn't that great, so it was pretty bumpy.

We met Vince for an early dinner, and I paid him the rest of what I owed him.

In the evening, I discovered that the weather station's complaining about the SD card... rebooting didn't work, so I'll have to rebuild it, but I don't really have the time right now.

The SSD in my work laptop took a dump, so after a little time panicking, I started using my desktop to connect to work.

We met Vince for dinner, so I could pay him for the engine rebuild.  And then I discovered that my ATM card's limit is a lot lower than I thought it was.  Oh well... he knows where I live.
