I helped make there be a fire pit and a movie night this weekend. My housemate has been away at that thing in the desert for the past couple weeks, and it was a great opportunity to move things around and assemble furniture, and I did not take that opportunity. I spent hours gardening this weekend and it gave me great satisfaction.

Would an external hard drive solve your problems? I might have a spare floating around, but also small external SSDs are getting cheaper.
