After last year's Secret Santa, I was thinking of keeping it simple as far as my wish list. I asked for a couple of Raspberry Pi Zero W boards because I could always use those and those cheap I2C and SPI sensors.

But my Secret Santa said they were planning to go all out. I asked if they were going to do that, then I would really like them to donate to the Basset Hound Rescue of Southern California in memory of my basset, Shakespeare.

Not only did they make a donation, but they also got me something off of my Amazon wish list. I've been looking to upgrade my aging computer for quite some time and used the UserBenchmark to add some parts to my wish list. From that they got me the AMD Ryzen 5 2600X and ASRock MicroATX Motherboard (B450M PRO4).

After Christmas I should be able to complete my build with the NVME SSD, memory upgrade, and possibly the video card upgrade.

Mahalo nui, Santa! You really did you way above and beyond!
