Would that something be camping? 🤣

Yes, and might hit some thrift stores, if there are any in the area.

Friday: Movie night.
I am lucky that I have a library right across the street. So I usually go to the library and select a few movies to watch over the weekend.
This weeks selection include

King Kong - Skull Island
Lara Croft - tomb raider
Shape of Water
Predator
Annihilation
Red Sparrow
Sicario

And 5 others which I can’t remember right now.

Popcorn anyone ?
Time to go to my Man-cave( living room ) and chill.

Friday: I was just playing a flight sim game while being cheered by my daughter. Could anyone guess what game it was?

Memorial Day weekend:

Friday: camping, ate at Pizza Hut and Dairy Queen in Sandusky, MI, and watched Aladdin at the drive-in theater (yes, you read this right) with my brother and dad. Was about to watch the Avengers End Game movie, but, I was too drowsy to watch the movie since I never had any sleep whatsoever after I got off of work.
Saturday: met my mom at Port Huron for the day and went thrifting (no hardware purchases, sadly).
Sunday: nothing in particular.
Monday: work (boo).

Ramadan Mubarak.

Thank you. 😀

Also, this year's Ramadan helps me losing weight a lot, primarily because my wife often reminds me to not indulge myself in gluttony during iftar. I've been unhealthily overweight for years, now it's time to fix it.

The weekend starts early this week. It is a holy day tomorrow. And so, all children have the day off. And because there is only friday left, they have gotten that day off from school as well. Sort of a mini hollyday of sort. Perfect for children. 😀

So...
Thursday - My childrens mother will be dropping them off. Later that day, we will be visiting a good friend.
Friday - Enjoying netflix and other streaming services. And if the weather holds up, I will be doing some painting of the house.
Saturday - Going to take a long walk with my children. (8 kilometer) My girlfriend can not, as she got an operation.
Sunday - Going to drop my son off at my children's mother's house. My daughter will stay until Monday.
Monday - Taking my daughter to the doctor. She needs to start on some medication. (nothing bad).

It will be a long weekend.

Those cakes make you sick....

🤣, I guess that's why on most calendars, it marks July 5 as a holiday, along with July 4, as both days are Independence Day, depending on the country.

Friday: try (again) to fix my 1040STE which isn't powering on. probably swap a PSU from an STF carcass. I keep putting this off
Saturday: probably find a cars and coffee. haven't taken the car out in a while. might have to do a light paint correction and ceramic coat on a friend's huracan in the afternoon.
Sunday: short 50 mile bike ride with 5000ft of net elevation gain. Haven't done this in a while, so I hope i don't get dropped.

I have no clue what I'm doing! If you want to watch me fumble through all my retro projects, you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/user/MrDavejustdave

Nope, but that's very close. The game was Microprose's answer to Red Baron, what is it?

Ah, Knights of the Sky. I have that. Very speed-sensitive game. Needs a slow 386 to run well. If I recall, it also has manual-based lookup copy protection. 😠 The graphics aren't as nice as Red Baron, either. How would you compare them, Kreshna?
