Just Les and me (Mike) this morning. It is the first Saturday with reduced lockdown restrictions and is also a hot day. I imagine this combination is the reason for the reduced attendance. Les spent the morning installing windows 10 on this device:- https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/seeed-odyssey-x86j4105.
I talked about my first attempt to make five gallons of IPA (India pale ale) it will be ready in three weeks, I will report back then.
