Where: On your computing device. Anything with a Zoom client. https://zoom.us/download - You probably want "Zoom Client for Meetings" or "Zoom Mobile Apps".

When: Saturday April 13 2024 @ 1700 PDT / 2000 EDT / 2130 NDT - We will likely go quite late, typically ending after 0100 PDT.

The link will be the same every week. We don't need a list, many people will be here. Just add your name if you want the link PM'd to you around 1630 PDT before the do.

Suggestion: Please include your forum handle (and optionally your name) when logging onto Zoom.

Please send me the same link as last week:

I'm going to pre-create some breakout rooms for specific topics as an easy way to try to break the group up. Aside from COVID-19, are there any hot topics we may want to discuss?
-pass the mic for 1 minute intro/hello before breaking up into groups

-share what people have been doing to get through withdrawal from lack of flying

-have a random buzzer-when it goes off, whoever talking takes a drink

That requires everyone join at the same time.

Sounds like perfect discussion for the breakout room on COVID-19

• Investing & Economy

• Useful structures: Routines, status prompts/printouts, downtime, do's

• Analytics - are there ways to gauge real numbers when the metrics keep changing

• Rainbows and puppy dogs

• The future

• Cool hobbies and projects


I'll try to join in, though likely at a random time as I am just seeing this now and have family obligations. Someone PM the linky? Generally it can be accessed by anyone with the link, so keep the distribution tight to avoid zoom bombing.

I also have a Zoom Pro account if needed, but sounds like we're all figured?

Stay safe out there!

I plan to PM the Zoom link out around 1600 PDT. It will not let you join until I start it, which will be around 1700 PDT.

I think we'll just set up breakout rooms as people join and conversations splinter.

That might be pushing it, but if my two trial mini dos this past week are any indication, there's a good chance.

May have already been said... but Zoom Breakouts can only be accessed via the desktop or mobile apps, not the web client.

For the Do today, this is what I will be drinking - a Quarantini:


Dr, Phil's Quarantini


A London Dry Gin martini, served in a clarified lime-washed glass, garnished with malic acid soaked apple 'virus' and syringe containing saline and quinine syrup.

The guest uses the syringe to 'inoculate' the drink drop by drop, to taste.

Licensed for use in medical trials only - accept no substitutes.

See you later today!

Okay link has been sent out. Thank you to those who used their actual username in the wiki (cough 11yrold cough GHT ).
@MQS007​​​ I was unable to send a PM to you. Not sure why. See if you can get it from one of the other attendees or send me a note if you had your PMs disabled.

Edit: Please do not send me "thank you" PMs. RIP my inbox, as they say.
