Week Notes for February 2 - 8

My week notes for the week of February 2 through February 9.

Notes

My father-in-law, myself, & my wife were able to get our new fence erected to help keep Tess contained. My wife and father-in-law did most of the work and it looks amazing. Tess loves being outside, so it will be nice to allow her to just hang out outside without us having to worry about her easily escaping.

Gearing Up for the Super Bowl

Normally I don't care all that much about the Super Bowl, but the Philadelphia Eagles are in it again so I'm excited to cheer on my team.

I would love to see more classic games being "updated" to run on modern hardware. If this helps game studios open up their back catalog, I'm all for it.
