Part Two ........
It was a beautiful summer day, so I had the most magical drive up the Sea to Sky Highway to visit Ed in Squamish. Wonderful mountain views, as well as the sea views over Howe Sound. As always I was greeted by Ed's Hybrid Music 500 playing Genesis songs from A Trick of the Tail - love those songs! Once I'd had one of Ed's great coffees I started setting up, only to realise that I'd left some vital gear behind (my Music 5000, a Gotek, speakers and more!!) Oh well, that scuppered my plan of using My Electron with the Hybrid Music System. Onto Plan B! I played Crazee Rider (the current HSC game) on the Electron using the amazing Mega Games Cartridge to see how it was in comparison to the Beeb version. A lot more basic!!
Crazee Rider on the Electron
Look, Ma! I'm #1!!
Not having accomplished much on the Electron, I then set up my Master Compact to get to grips properly with Crazee Rider for the current HSC. First of all I practised sideswiping other riders to rack up a higher bonus. Then it was time for lunch. Ed had prepared chicken pie with peas and carrots - very yummy!!
We then spent the rest of the afternoon competing in Crazee Rider, and I managed to qualify for Track 2. Ed was kindly qiving me useful driving tips, and I ended up riding reasonably well. We both got personal High Scores and sore wrists from keyboard handling!!
My personal best for the day!!
I didn't take many photos as this wasn't a highly productive day, but it was so good to see Ed again and enjoy some honest Acorn fun!! Ed kindly gave me a USB3 hub, as well as USB C adaptors. He also gave me a full set of Icelandic crime thrillers to read in the summer (I guess he thinks that my summer isn't that busy, ha ha!!)
Useful USB goodies
A full set of Icelandic crime thrillers!!
Can't wait for the next ABUG Canada West, scheduled for the end of August (and I'll make sure I take all the gear this time!!) Thanks, Ed!

You two always look like you are having a great time and still manage to accomplish more in one ABUG than I do in all of them!
