I had a very nice time today over at Mom's for Thanksgiving. My stepfather (Carl), brother (Steve), Grandma, her husband (Mac) and Laura, a neighbor of my Mom's were also there. I started off with helping Mom with getting the dinner together, which was just fine.
My brother had been having some problems with a rebuilt PC. A friend at his work place had rebuiit it. I took a look, and it turned out that he didn't have the driver for his USB adaptor, and also didn't have the wireless network info, so we fixed that. He can now browse, which is cool.
Mom had moved some files around on a new external hard drive, so I helped her with some problems with that. I also showed her how to post some of her photos to Flickr. (I really should insert a Mother Flickr joke here...) I helped her post some photos of alpacas.

Carl and Laura were trying to work out some fertilizer problems for a course they are taking in gardening. Being somewhat comfortable with numbers, I was able to find what they were missing. Yay! Math geek fun.
All in all, it was a very relaxing day, and I felt good that I was able to be helpful.
