So in late August we finally (arrgh what an ordeal!) closed on a new (to us) home, and I've been wholly pre-occupied since with cleaning and prepping and piecemeal moving, one day and load at a time. (Fulltime jobs, two kids in school, etc etc... I should have just burned everything but I digress).
Anyway, the pins happened to be among the first "big" things to move just for logistics' sake. So staging them in the new arcade room, I arranged them by year. No tweaking or adjustments: they're not even plugged in, and the legs are still configured for the variously unlevel locations in which they were scattered about the old place.
But still! I wasn't expecting this kind of evolutionary history lesson: from 76 - 80 - 84 - 88 - 90, we have:
And even funnier to me, a perfect stair step arrangement:
Those stairs will be even more awesome once the Dalek takes his regal throne at the top when I finally get Dr. Who moved over.
Maybe I'm easily amused, but in fairness I'm just about punch drunk knocked out from all this moving in the past 5 weeks. And also I should also mention: we closed on the house on Aug 19. On Aug 23 I drove to Cincinnati to get that Old Chicago after winning it in an online estate auction. It was the first thing I put in the new house. Priorities, I has them
