Got home from work to find this waiting on the dining room table:

Hmmm, I wonder what's in this box??

And now for the big reveal:

So much stuff!

Even a computer game from the 80s...

If only I had a 3.5" floppy drive hanging around somewhere...

If you want to be surprised by what's in the box stop reading now!

I grabbed one of the Cypress PSoC kits and the eeZeeProp board. I put in a first edition Teensy LC and a couple of tubes that I had lying around (a 12AX7 and an EL84) that were for a tube amp project that I started ages ago and never finished.

Now off to the next stop, somewhere in Massachusetts. Blue is already traveled, Orange is current trip.

Ah this is so great! Glad this is happening. 

To all: LMK if you need a USB 3.5" drive. I've got a few of 'em lying around.

Oh, it's awesome. I highly recommend re-using that box. There are several dozen layers of tape. You know, waterproofing, or something.

I'll notify the next recipiant.

Yeah, I re-used the box.  I wonder how long it will last.
