Started a course for work, but from home this week. Taught remotely from Texas, so its mountain time and runs from 11-630 here in Toronto, which is great for working out in the morning.. but makes for a long day! Enjoy these course though, through Learning Tree.

Finished last night, and took my son to see Black Panther... Monday night is perfect as the theatre was 1/2 full! Great movie, so different from the other Marvel films.

Nice lift!

Netflix has 2 different 2 part specials now that he just did last year. So a total of about 4 hours of his original stand up. Dude is funny, and he has gotten jacked compared to how gangly and skinny he was before!
 
Nice back session!

I was against Windows 10 for some time but having used it in my day to day over the last year or so I really do enjoy it from a user perspective over 7.

Thanks man. I like W10... and actually this Adv. Troubleshooting course is good. Really looking forward to the deployment one though in May.

The course is about 4k for the 5days (work pays), but the book is issued from Microsoft and locked down. If there is any interest from either of you i think i can print to pdf chapter by chapter ... let me know. (same for you Mark)
