Title: New decade, new digs
Post by: mica on January 01, 2020, 06:03:13 PM: I'll make the formal announcement soon, but starting today we're officially in our new facility in Rohnert Park, CA just 4 miles south. Next time you visit us, set your GPS to 240 Classic Ct, Rohnert Park, CA 94928. Our phone number will remain the same.

Our new place is larger, in a standalone building. Rohnert Park is very business friendly and has been very welcoming.
After 30 years on Wiljan Court, we were ready for new digs. We won't be missing the car delivery trucks blocking the road everyday.

Well that's a reality! It's been 25 years since we last moved, and the sheer volume of things is staggering. I think we are experts at Tetris. Even if we didn't have all the extra stuff, just the normal stuff is massive.

I'll be there at 8:00 - 11:00 and again at 2:00. Still a bunch of stuff to do. Let me know if you're going to come on by - but be warned, I may put you to work!

The closest station is a bit far off. We can make a Station, but they won't stop there hee-hee.

Yes, there is some good stuff I found. I will be sharing some of my finds once I recover! Treasures indeed.

I've often wondered whose job it was to harvest the moon dust. See... you have to be selective about that. It takes years, decades even, for the really fine powdery stuff to accumulate up in the rafters. And you have to know where the particular layer you need is. No kidding... my current shop is only 14 years old. I brought dust from the last one.

Highly recommend a stopover in Petaluma at Henhouse Brewing (they're across the street from Lagunitas). My new fave.

Original? The only difference with the original KK series and the and current KK series is the color. The white and brown connectors interlock just fine. Or are you looking for the coaxial connectors or something else entirely?

I'll have to check that out! I think I've seen their beer for sale locally down here. There's something about a beer that can only be bought in a certain place at a certain time that appeals to the collector in me though...

Post by: kenbass4 on January 08, 2020, 03:51:18 PM: Congrats on the new location! Having moved houses 3 years ago, I can only imagine what you guys are going through! I guess we need to get up there again...

320 Judah St, San Francisco - 1970

45 Foley St, Santa Rosa, CA. - 1979
3005 Wiljan Ct. Santa Rosa, CA. - 1991

and finally...

Miss any?

Always think big - even or especially if times are getting rough... 😉
