AV tech workshop and expo in TopGolf

I attended an AV tech workshop and expo in TopGolf, enjoyed the classes, food, and played at 85f for over 100 shots (via playing with other three people at one bay and practicing by myself at another bay). My hands and back are sore now.

I went to Bad Axe Throwing Fairfax: Free Open House tonight, and played half an hour. Easier than I thought, and no one got injured. LOL Quite interesting experience.

Appalachian Trail to Compton Peak

I enjoyed this 14.5 m hike with 3259 feet elevation gain along Appalachian Trail to Compton Peak out and back, seeing a lot of wild flowers and found eatable mushrooms.

Virginia triple crown

I and a meetup group tackled Virginia triple crown: McAfee Knob, Tinker Cliffs, and Dragon's Tooth in two days, about 24 miles with 5600 feet elevation gain. Great weather and views without yellow jackets or other big bites. I did not get on Dragon’s Tooth because of the height, so I posted the photos by other hikers.

Walmart Labs in Reston

My 2-hrs were well spent at Walmart Labs in Reston on App development process, robots in Walmart stores, and application of Electrode Native. One of the speakers turned her talk into an informative standup comedy. It is simply too expensive to put $30k per piece arm on the scan robots. BTW, Walmart associates pick up your online order prior to your arrival for you to grab and go.
