I’m back at the Massachvsetts Bay Colony Institvte of the Technologickal Arts. Rejoice! Time to get back into the swing of things. Interesting occurrences along the way:
- It started snowing on the way to the airport and was getting a bit heavy right before departure. Snow in Atlanta? Wow, that’s almost as rare as rain. I was afraid of getting delayed. That, fortunately, did not happen.
- The luggage half-full of robot parts and electronic parts somehow made it past screening. I was expecting armed security guards as soon as I landed.
- On the subway ride back, a random black guy boarded train section I was in with a boombox and proceeded to breakdance for the passengers. That ranks as the most innovative panhandling I have witnessed to date. Certainly better than the bad karaoke that goes on in Beijing subways.
- 50 pound suitcase 5 stories up the stairs.
So now I’m in the same place I was 3.5 weeks ago. TB4.5 (SP0) will undergo disassembly soon. First, though, I have to finish making all the UHMW parts and get some machining done, probably at MITERS.
Bawt on!
