The VT Boys have been together for father's day

The VT Boys have been together for father's day which was nice, Mr.Gadget had a nice sleep over which he always enjoys especially now he can sleep on the new sofa. We had homemade hamburgers for lunch really lovely.
In the afternoon Mr.Mac Junior came over from Cambridgeshire to see me and he gave me a lovely present and a card. Mr.Gadget put a lot of trouble to make me a father's day card. In the afternoon we had time to play some computer games on our new Mac Pro - wow that goes very well.
For dinner we had spag bol and garlic bread shaped like a pizza - we watched a film and the last 20 minutes of Top Gear before it was time for Mr.Gadget to go home.

The VT Boys opened up a new MacBook Air

The VT Boys opened up a new MacBook Air as this one was not running to well, ones on the fan inside to make a noise and did not stop. The machine is not a speed monster however with a new Intel Broadwell 1.3Ghz chip, speedy PCIe SSD and 4Gb DDR3 ram it should run fine.

So we decided to open up the MacBook and have a look inside. The first thing we noticed was how small everything was, the first thing we took out was the PCIe SSD flash drive, that was easy just one screw and pop it came out. The next thing to go was the battery, again so thin but it takes 75% on the space inside. Out with the motherboard and fan, there was no officious signs of water damage or corrosion. So Mr.Gadget said it must be a logic board problem which will cost around £200.00, so we just have to wait and look around at Ebay or other second hand Mac online places.

The VT Boys did a bit of drone flying

The VT Boys did a bit of drone flying a few weeks ago which was great fun, we managed to make some great in flyed video and pictures and hopefully some we are able to upload them to the blog.

We also had some time for a bit of cooking because we like doing that, this also gives us the opportunity to talk about lots of things. We had some time to listen to some music and play a few games on the computer.
Next time Mr.Gadget comes over for a sleepover as it fathers day. He told me he has a card for me and I am looking forward to see it. We also had a promise from Mr.Mac Junior that he comes over so watch this space maybe next time we have a few photos of him on the blog.
