The THB comes to the Sunshine State

I got home yesterday afternoon to find this on my doorstep...

WooHoo! Fun ensues...

Here we get a look at DainBramage's excellent packing skills...

So, I pulled everything out for a good look at it all...

After spending a few hours looking at everything and thinking of the many, many different things I could do with a portion of the stuff, here's what I decided to keep:

The Adafruit Pro Trinket

1 of 2 of the Addicore nRF24L01/ESP things

1/3 of the perfboards

Bag of buttons & xtals

Bag of 7 segment displays

1 of the treats from Hawaii :)

Hackaday stickers

Since a couple of things I wanted to put in there would in no way fit, lol, this is what I put in:

Here's what I put in:

PSP model 1001

Arduino Uno

5 axis Accelerometer/Gyroscope thing

Realtek WiFi USB dongle

3G data jetpack from Verizon

I really had fun poking through all of this like a treasure hunt, but on it must go. There are more recipients waiting, and more miles to travel so, sealed up and ready to head to California.

It should be heading out with today's post, so....

Have a good journey my friend :)

EDIT: 12:28pm, Well I missed the Post Office shipping office open hours by about 10 minutes. Since Monday is a holiday, looks like it won't be on it's way until Tuesday 2/16. :(

I was thinking to keep the syrup you put in, but since my wife and her family is from Vermont, I figured I'd let that travel some more. :)

Are you sure? yes | no

That makes sense.

I suspect that the syrup and cookies will be gone at the next stop, since Benchoff put his foot down and said "no more food" in the THB. Bummer.

Are you sure? yes | no

Thanks. I was wondering how people would feel about those. I did have one thing that definitely would not fit that I wanted to put in there to see what someone would do with it... an original Timex Sinclair 1000 with 16KB RAM module.

Are you sure? yes | no

Too bad. That Sinclair probably would have been snapped right up. Retro-computing is a pretty big thing right now. (as someone who lived through the computer revolution, I can't understand why anyone would choose to go back to the horrible computers we had in 1983!)

Are you sure? yes | no

Thanks for the compliment! I was able to make some extra space in the box, and it looks like you were as well! Good choice of items to swap! :)

Are you sure? yes | no
