We never wanted a pool until we saw this new rainbow colored pool float. We probably still don’t want a pool…but this will also look great at the Y!

Days 2-7: #20dollarlaptop
As many #pine64 reviewers noted in late 2016, support for the #pine64 is very much a diy affair. Even late in 2017, MfL has had to assemble our own set of resources for setting up the board. The good news is that there is a lot of helpful information out there; the bad news is that it is not all in one place. The best place to start is the Pine64 wiki: http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Main_Page Norm24’s schematic overview of the board has been an invaluable resource.
Day 1: #20dollarlaptop
We purchased a $15 Pine64 computer board (it was actually $22 with shipping) in January, 2016. We received it in spring, 2016, and we are finally getting around to using it to build a $20 laptop. Here is an image from Day 1, Thursday, December 14, 2017. Stay tuned to follow our progress!

Where To Buy: Refurbished Vitamix Blenders
MfL has tested out several blenders, and we consistently find that Vitamix really is the industry standard. While certainly worth the investment at the retail price of $400 – $500, this is a major purchase. As a result, we were excited to learn that Vitamix is now selling refurbished models for $299, a significant discount off the price of the new models. Even better, the refurbished models come with A FIVE YEAR WARRANTY included in the sales price.
