Am internally still on Pacific _Standard_ Time, so will be leaving for SoDoI in a bit.

Should be there around 12Noon Pacific _Daylight-Saving_ Time :-\

Am bringing along a couple of Chromebooks with Linux installed as well as their AC adapters to give away, in case anyone else is possibly interested in them. One has Lubuntu 24.04.4 LTS installed and another has Lilidog Linux installed ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/lilidog/ .)
