First day of vacation and  i laid pretty low because of the heat.  We had a nice send off tonight for our friends Ann and Keith who are moving to Virginia tomorrow…

as for the rest of the day, I took advantage of the lull to spend some time in my newly cleaned out lab. I’ve been meaning to clean the place out for many months.. not only as it hard to move around in there.. but it was getting downright dangerous.

 

it took me the better part  of three days, but I managed to crawl through every last resistor, every last laser, every last chemical.. I threw out a ton of stuff, resorted everything else and combined things ( somewhat safe chemicals”, “somewhat unsafe chemicals” . “really  dangerous chemicals”) . I’, giving a way a ton of stuff as well. I found some amazing stuff , too.. eg distillers yeast (good to 24% abv), mercury (safely contained), potassium bichromate from when I was in high school, my first samstone experiments, diamond drills for glass, some negatives with sams pictures, some sage smudge sticks, a bottle of gallium, some carbon fiber rods, some very large firework mortar shells, a big thing of sulfuric acid i didn’t know I had, a bunch of high voltage caps and some very old gum.

 

here’s what it look like before

and here’s how it looks now

now.. what to build ?

 

nite all, nite sam
