The VT Boys are complete again

The VT Boys are complete again - a few weeks ago, Mr.Garfield came back home again for a few days to see his family here in Norfolk and Cambridge wish was lovely. He and his girlfriend live in Bognor Regis and have busy lives.

It was very nice to see him and Ella and have spend the Sunday afternoon in Wisbech and Tuesday evenings in Norfolk with us. Mr.Gadget was also present and we had a lovely Chinese dinner for tea.

We spend the night talking a lot and playing with the gadgets we had in the new house. Since then we have been speaking again on a weekly basic which is very nice. Mr.Mac Junior also paid us a visit a few weeks ago and gave Mr.Mac a new Tassimo machine as his one was broken a few weeks ago. Mrs.Mac received lovely flowers. wow big browny point there for him.

The VT Boys have moved house

The VT Boys have moved house and we are all very happy about that. Our new home is bigger and new. Over the last few weeks we have been working really hard to get everything ready. Mr.Gadget was looking particularly looking forward trying the new Fibre Broadband running at a whopping speed of 300mb / 30mb - wow.

Mr.Gadget assisted with building some flatpacks and moving some stuff from the old house, as usual he is always very helpful.

We also looking forward playing with our slotcar game and building new tracks. We had a lovely day with lots of eating and playing with computers.

The VT Boys had a birthday

The VT Boys had a birthday this weekend and Mr.Gadget is 15 years old hooray. It was very nice to have him on his birthday and also for a sleepover. Just because it was his birthday we still had lots to do, as we are moving to a new house later this month.

We had lots of stuff to throwaway and that means going to the dump ones or twice. It was very handy to have him around as he is always willing to help.

Of course we did lots with our computers and Mr.Gadget had some speed issues with his, especially regarding the frame rates in gaming, his machine is awesome, 8 cores, 8Gb DDR3 high speed ram, EVO 850 SSD and NVidia GTX 950 graphics card, however the machine was running slower, we think because of the anniversary update on Windows 10 Pro.

So we copied all the data over to a external USB 3 drive and some to the second internal drive, re-installed Windows 10 Pro and all the drivers and the machine was very fast again. This is how you deal with these things, you just re-install and most of the time Windows is working fine again.

We also upgraded the Windows Machine of Mr.Mac Senior yes you hear it right he has also a Windows 10 machine, we upgraded the graphics card to AMD R7 240 with 2Gb DDR3 VRAM. this Intel i3 is running very nice and even good for some basic gaming.

For dinning this weekend Mr.Gadget has some of his favorite meals, Babi Ketchap and his birthday cake (Flake) and roast on the Sunday,

The VT Boys had to repair a MacBook Air

The VT Boys had to repair a MacBook Air and this is not a easy job as we have found out. When we got the MacBook it had some trackpad issues but only after warming up for a minute or two and the sound did't work.

So Mr Gadget opened it up and looked where to problem could be. First you need to disconnect the battery, then the Flashdrive before you can have access to the trackpad. All looks to be okay so we suspect it must have so water damage. The MacBook works okay with a external USB mouse and we installed MacOS Sierra beta edition which works really well.

We will keep this MacBook Air in out collection and maybe in the future we can get a new logic board for it and repair it.

The VT Boys have been busy

The VT Boys have been busy in the last few weeks. Mr.Gadget had a busy few weekends as he had lots of events with the Air Cadets, Please see picture below.

We also had time playing with our Slot Cars, we have been very creative making new tracks, longer and bigger with more obstacles.

Next time Mr.Gadget will come over for a long sleep over, we are looking forward to it.

The VT Boys had some shaving training

The VT Boys had some shaving training this weekend, as Mr.Gadget had an important weekend coming up. He needs to look his best for this and next weekend. He will be taking part in a national cadets competition.

We also had time to play with the scalextrics and made a fantastic track this time. Our dinner was simple Pizza (we had pepperoni, meat feast and plane tomato and cheese).

The VT Boys had a sleepover

The VT Boys had a sleepover this weekend, as it was bank holiday weekend, it was nice to have Mr.Gadget over for two days, as we had plenty of time to play with the new Apple iMac. Next time we will publish some more pictures of the Retina 5K iMac with the best graphics card you can get at the moment.

We also had time to build a new racing track for our slot car game - see picture below.

On Sunday in the morning we when't to church to worship our father and the message was excellent as usual presented by Mac. we had some lunch and setup the new track and played with a few new cars we had. We look forward in two weeks time to see each other again.
