OK,

My flights finally got approved. Nothing like last minute sweating... That's why I haven't made this thread until now.

Anyone up for a get together tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon/night? The only place I know is Dave & Busters... you know of any place better that would be fun for a get together?

I'll have a rental car so there's no worry about me needing a ride.

Man, Raymond, what's with the last minute notice all of the time? :)

I won't be able to make it this time either. I have to go to a wedding at night. I can't think of anywhere else you could go. Maybe one of the locals will open up his game room. It seemed like you guys had fun at D&B last time.
 
I got my travel approved in the system not even 30 min ago.

I'm waiting on the tickets to be issued but that should be automatic.
 
Sorry I got the kids all day cause my wife is going out with all of the ladies... ALL DAY...
See ya next time.
 
I would say that if you're up around 6am to hit the Electronics Flea Market right up the road in Cupertino but it looks like the one for this month has been canceled. Seems the morons at DeAnza College aren't providing relocation space and the usual parking lot they use has construction underway. Glad I checked the website before going to bed, would have been pissed off if I got up at 5am to get out there and there was no market.
 
I'm up, but won't be there until a couple hours after 6am.

David, hope you are around for a handshake to put a face with the name!

Well, I made the rounds to 3 places to buy stuff... and am sitting at the office in the sweltering heat. The AC is off for the weekend.

I'm headed to the hotel for a bit. Hopefully I can check in already.

Downtown Hilton.

Just got checked in.

I picked up a small multi-drawer parts cab for several drawers of ICs that I wanted. It still has a bunch of different diodes in it and a few different transistors. They let me borrow a stapler from the front desk which I used while standing at the trunk of the car in the parking garage to dump the ICs into anti-static bags. I looked like a drug dealer dividing up the stash to sell. :eek::eek:

If any of you locals want it, grab it from me tonight. I already pulled the chips out that I wanted and I have no desire to pack a small parts cabinet in my luggage.

I am right down the street fro the Hilton. We're heading out to a friends house for dinner and a movie. How long are you in town for?

Fly home Thursday late afternoon.

I have customer events tomorrow through Weds night. Not sure how easy it'll be to break free at a decent hour.
 
Had a break between the wine country tour with the customers and dinner with a few of them at Birks tonight so I went over to Yellow57's house.

The 57 was under a car cover in the shop and a few of the games were covered in protective plastic but they were uncovered and I got to play Sea Wolf, Super Pong, and Stunt Cycle. While there I got the grand tour, played the slot a bit, and adjusted the settings on the monitor in the Stunt Cycle and looked at the monitor in Sea Wolf.

It was a nice time and the restaurant he recommended for dinner last night, Harry's Hofbrau, was excellent. :)

Thanks for the hospitality Rick!
 
Back home! Whew!

It was a fun trip, but I didn't have a lot of time to visit with folks as I was being a good host for my customers who were in town.

I'm back... like a bad penny... and will be here until Saturday.

:)
 
Have any room in your suitcase for bad boards?
What night are we doing D&B?
