I settled into my new lab office with a new desk and couch, along with a snazzy canvas to show off the suprachoroidal space that my lab is researching.  I also built a new PC for my home office using a Ryzen 7900X3D on a ROG STRIX B650E-F mobo with Trident Z5 RAM, SN850x NVMe, and TUF Gaming TX4070 Ti graphics, all inside an H7 Flow case with Kraken Elite cooling that let me trick out the LCD display with an animated eyeball. I tested my new rig with the copy of MWII that I purchased more than a year ago. The exhilarating stealth missions and sting operations got my adrenaline going, and even gave Westley a go at PC gaming piloting a missile strike. For July 4th weekend, my friend Brenda cancelled on our plans for a Korean-themed BBQ due to the hot weather, so we stayed cool indoors teaching Westley Scrabble then headed out in the evening to the Davis Aquadart Pool Party. Unfortunately, Westley had his first bee sting by the pool, but a popsicle and pool time with friends helped him recover in time to enjoy the fireworks. With Melody out of town this past week, we enjoyed father-son time watching Din Djarrin and Bo Katan retake Mandalore in season 3 of the Mandalorian and trading camels in Jaipur. We also decided to geek out as a family by introducing Westley to Star Trek TNG. After rewatching Q judge humanity at Farpoint station, we hastily packed for our upcoming trip to Scandinavia.
