December 2016 – One Very Eventful month
What a big month December turned out to be. The beginning of the month started with both Mrs. Guerras celebrating birthdays — both are still in good shape and looking great. Luke was on his own mission this month after I “green lighted” his build a computer project. Eventually, all the parts we ordered arrived and Luke was able to build most of the computer himself. However, when it came to connecting all the different power cables, we decided to take the machine in to professionals just to make sure everything was configured correctly. The end result is that Luke now has one very fast gaming machine which will also serve the dual purpose of being his video production machine for school projects.
