Roamed highway 80 to Sacramento and further on towards Roseville.
Stopped at Sacramento and hung out with Brotha Eli. We ate at Umeko, a japanese buffet thats more chinese food then sushi. Ryan wanted to meet up and chill, so we did.
After eating, we were near this Electronics Surplus Supply store. It is the graveyard of electronics. They had electroscopes, VESA, ISA, SCSI (and all it's versions), Laptop boards, all kinds of crazy stuff. Chips laying around, ram of all kinds strewn about. The only thing new were the keyboards and hard drive enclosures. If you're looking for barebone dell systems, they have it for 100$. I didn't see if they had mouseballs, they had every cable out there. The best was the 1960's scientific scales. Large enclosures that measured probably to the millionth of a milligram. The ONE thing i didn't find was a IBM M-Keyboard, the ultimate computer keyboard. Too bad it uses the old AT connectors. I wonder if they take e-waste?
Later, we roamed to Roseville for Fluffielady to resupply on her jewelries. SOMEONE took a while (2hrs) in the store. In that time i was trying to teach the techniques and methods of driving a motor vehicle. I dunno if he got what i was instructing..
While heading back home we stopped at Mary's Pizza Shack at Pitt School Road in Dixon. We ordered some sort of Chicken Ranch pizza and it was a little too salty, sometimes it's the cheese but we dunno. It needed some marinara maybe? 19$ for a medium.
