Today I went up to the Mike & Key Amateur Radio Club swap meet in Puyallup, Washington. It’s about a two-and-a-half hour drive from here and on the way up I was complaining to my friend Greg that people bring computer junk instead of radios. Of course that meant the only thing I bought up there was a piece of computer gear.
We left because Greg bought something that was too heavy to haul around and then drove around looking for a place to eat. We ended up in Olympia, at the only place I know to go down there, a seafood place on the water that I think is called, “The Oyster House.” As always the seafood was excellent. Sometimes I forget how great fresh shrimp is. I had the combo basket of fried stuff (clam strips, popcorn shrimp, shrimp, and halibut) and we also has some raw oysters. Finally drove the two-and-a-half hours back and it was time to take a nap.
Have you ever visited the Boeing Surplus store in Kent, WA? Its about 20 minutes north of Puyallup. Computer junk and other geek paraphenalia galore.
