The workshop is moved! Faster than I thought and a bit more casual

SCRAMBLE TO MOVE TODAY INSTEAD OF TOMORROW

The Chiropractor who is expanding into the storefront that was my current workshop had promised to move everything and had detailed specs from me on the dimensions and weights of all the larger equipment. We had arranged for his movers to come tomorrow to move the heavy items, but yesterday afternoon he called to try to do the move today.

He said the movers only had today available out of the entire month so it had to be today. I on the other hand had two important appointments that could not be moved and I was not going to have people move the items without being there to supervise. Since I could be back by 1PM after the last of my appointments, we settled on that time for the move. 

I envisioned a larger truck, lift gates or fork lifts, thus was surprised to see a trailer on the Chiropractor's pickup truck suitable for hauling a riding lawn mower. He had several friends, his wife and his new partner in the practice to accomplish the move. 

What made this feasible was that my new workshop was only a block or so away thus a very slow careful drive was possible and short travel time supported multiple round trips. We began at 1PM and by 4:30PM every last item from my shop was in the new space!

Everything is there, but I have to figure out how to organize the space and locate everything. That may take some time, but I can fairly rapidly return to working on the VCF 1130's voltage regulator, the SSM 1130's typewriter and the VCF 1130's disk drive. Too, I can test my design for the DMA based core memory loader.
