That was fun to see. What city is that museum in? It kinda hurt seeing some of the electronics and chemistry labs that I played with as a kid in a... museum :cry:

Aww heck, that is in Huntington, WVa.. That is right along I-64 and just a day trip from C-ville. I'm going.

Yeah TNX+ ! Talk about a walk down Memory Lane, so much of it passed through my hands over the years I could open a somewhat smaller museum myself. Nice seeing them again, at least now I know where my stuff got off to. Oh, that evil Gilbert chemistry set! Those evil electronics sets! Those infernal things sent me down the path of destruction and wonder, the neighborhood Frankenstein with loud explosions and clouds of smoke by day and flashing lights and crackling arcs my night... MUAHAHAHAAAaaa.

Yeah, I saw a couple of Heathkit units that I built as a kid in there.

Since we now qualify as "Ol Museum Pieces", I figured I could get a tax break by registering as a National Historic Sight. Damn, they are closed due to the shut down.

I've only passed through Huntington on the way to Kentucky.

After WV takes out their revenge on you in tolls on I-77 :rant:

This is a road trip distance from me. I now have another place on my 'need to visit' list. Nice post brother George, thanks!
