An old friend

I’m out! 

The Devonshire chapter of my life is now officially closed, and along with it, a ridiculous amount of garbage, my mech. eng problem sets, my well intentioned (but unused) culinary purchases, and some good times.

I think I don’t want to clean anything for the next 5 years, at least.  

Or pack.  But unfortunately there’s a lot of pack/unpacking in my immediate future,  especially given my current plans.

While a lot of my academic stuff just got trashed (ahem, recycled), I couldn’t quite part with this fellow right away.  So much so, that I wanted to bring him down to LA and take a picture, before saying goodbye.  

Used to be, we’d spin hula hoops together, back in the days of ME 101.   (Literally – this was attached to a device that picked up a hula hoop and spun it.  It was for a prototyping class.)  Alas, he’s seen better.  The hot-glue and rubber band joints seem to be going a bit arthritic, and his vision just isn’t what it used to be. 

I’m putting the gee-raf out to pasture on the sunny slopes of Landfill.  He’s just that age now.

Good times, though, good times.
