The VT Boys had a sleepover this weekend.

The VT Boys had a sleepover this weekend, as VT Girl No.2 had the chance to go for a weekend break at her favourite place in Norfolk. This gave Mr.Gadget the opportunity to come over for a sleepover at Mr.Mac's house.
We had to some shopping after we dropped of VT Girl No.2 as Mr.Mac needed a plastic box for his computer bits. After the shopping we played a little bit with the new PowerBook G4 as Mr.Gadget likes this model very much. He will be borrowing this laptop for the next few weeks go give it a good run for his money and see what you still can do with it. This model is over 11 years old but still runs very well.
Of course we had to get the scalelectics out and build few few tracks, we also had to repair a car as the lights did not work very well and it was running a bit slow, after taken the car apart (old Porsche) it was running much better and all the lights did work again.
We had roast for dinner and ice cream of afters of course, we did see a very good documentary on Netflix on Saturday called The Passion, this was all about the resurrection of Christ and the music was out of this world.

The VT Boys had an important day

The VT Boys had an important day - a few weeks ago Mr.Gadget got a new batch from the Cadets for Best Uniform dated 17 March 2016 - wow. See pictures below. I wish he can only smile a little bit more.

The VT Boys have been working in the shop at Dereham

The VT Boys have been working in the shop at Dereham, as Mr.Mac Senior had lots of stuff to do, it has been very busy at work and Mr.Gadget has offered to help again in the workshop as we needed a new display server build. Now we had plenty of other stuff to get on with such as building a new virtual server for one of our clients, upgrading several Macs with more memory and HDD's and some support calls to attend to as well.
Mr.Gadget likes the new office upstairs and the workshop looked also very good, he likes building new machines from scratch and is very good at it, maybe one day he will work for Mr.Mac Senior as onsite engineer as he likes working with computers a lot.
After a hard days work we had time to get something to eat, so we tried out the new carvery in Dereham, it was very cheap but really good.

The VT Boys had a day in Ely

The VT Boys had a day in Ely as all the cadets from all over the country celebrated the 75 years of its existence. It was an early day for Mr.Gadget as he had to be in Ely at 11:00am, they left in the bus at Wisbech in the morning and assembled in Ely at the car park near at Ely Cathedral for the big perrette.

It was nice to see so many people turning up. Please see the pictures of this beautiful day.
