Actual contents are newly manufactured air filters for CDC Phoenix hard drives from the 1980s. HEPA had destroyed the molds years ago but they could make the main filter section. I'm making new end caps. #retrocomputing
I now understand why this shipment got stuck in customs for a while. Labels are entirely accurate but are certain to be misinterpreted by most folks.
Went to the Greenwood Car Show with @WoodlandFey today. 20 city blocks of cars! I only took a few photos though. A Fairlady. A '78 Trans Am TA/6.6 very close to my Dad's. A very clean drag car.
I bought a GPS antenna. It was a great deal on an excellent antenna. I didn't look at the physical size. 386DX for scale.
Today's attire
Kid and I went to clear a few trees that fell over the winter. After pulling them down from a hill, they were largely in tact. Instead of cutting them up, kid pulled them with the tractor over to the backyard. They now frame out the edge of the yard that slopes down to a drop. Now I can backfill with dirt to level the yard out a bit.
But my partner sent me some of their photos
Visited @icm 's physical location in Seattle. So much to see and interact with that I forgot to take pictures except for the PDP-8. #retrocomputing
I hate standing at the fridge defrosting the ice maker. This is much better.
