The title of this post could refer to the beating the spinner took today. Ben took a blowtorch to the stunt spinner and burned it up for its appearance in the post-spinner disaster sequence. Yesterday, when I told Erik we needed to burn the spinner he seemed quite excited about the possibility of destroying his arch nemesis. But today he didn't seem to care.
Actually, the title of this post refers to the fact that C & H Sales in Pasadena is closing. Everything is currently 50% off. If you remember from an earlier post, C & H is filled with old mechanical, electronic and optical parts. Cheap. A lot of the nice wood-cased electronic instruments were gone, but there are still a lot of interesting things there. I bought $25 worth of stuff today including some nice glass view panels, eye pieces, motors and baking tins. Stop by soon. You still have a year though. Apparently they're selling off their inventory before they shut down for good.
