Heat: Pedal to the Metal Mike Gerdov What better way to make use of this excess heat than playing HEAT and putting the pedal to the metal. Stephan goes Sunday driving by being a full quadrant behind the pack for the majority of the game. Mike crosses the line by 7 extra tiles, followed closely by Alain and Kevin.
Azul Stephan Reebs Stephan complains about his performance but surprises himself with a win 10+ points ahead of his next competitor.

SMAK. Alain is back from Ireland and he brings Bushmills Irish Whiskey, whiskey-flavoured chocolate, and a deck of cards bought at the Trinity College Library. We talk about his trip, the influence of AI in the publishing industry and the music industry, and Mike’s new 3-D printing machine which he assembled himself. We also wonder if there is such a thing as alcohol-free whiskey (turns out there is).

KMS. It’s a hot day but it’s cool enough at the HFG. We talk about disc golf, TV shows, hummingbirds, and platypus glowing in UV.
