...were shipped last week, scheduled to be here 4 days ago!!! the stupid weather around here has delayed the lasers from being delivered until tomorrow. So tomorrow I will hopefully have a bunch of pictures of the lasers.... either that or some scrap metal and a lot of broken glass, that just depends on how gentle the shipping company was!!! The crate weighed in at a total of 290lbs and the shipping was just under $300 (man... freight shipping sure is pricey)

Here are some pictures of the weather I am dealing with!!! The two ~5W argons will make up for it though.

Thank god I have this car! 2.0L Turbocharged All Wheel Drive (very awesome in the snow)

Here is my poor thunderbird.... burried... it's a supercharged 3.8L with zex nitrous oxide kit... not the best for snow  ;D

Re: The big argons from the college...

It's been snowing all day... we have well over a foot now... probably a good 14 inches. I took those pictures earlier in the day, we've had quite a bit since. I'm really hoping they will still deliver tomorrow, but I wouldn't be surprised if they delay again. I guess we'll just see what happens. They've had problems with snow all the way from chicago to salt lake city, to boise, and now to here near seattle. If anything it means that the truck has been going nice and slow to protect my lasers  ;D

Re: The big argons from the college...

We got an enormous amount of snow. Thankfully, most of it has been cleared away, though.

Now, it's just cold... really cold.

Re: The big argons from the college...

I don't have any snow here :( Must be global warming, or whatever is new and trendy these days....oh yea, 2012, shumann resonance amplifying , the Earth's magnetic field changing polarity and stopping of time and going into the fourth dimention...and of course warmer weather here. ::)

Make a laser snow video when you get them :D

Re: The big argons from the college...

-18C feels like -28C because of wind. Has to be a (very) good 45cm here

Re: The big argons from the college...

it is delayed AGAIN!!! AFTER I called them this morning and VERIFIED that it would come here today between noon and 2. They promised me it would get here so I waited around until two and called them because it hadn't shown yet. Then they said "woops sorry the truck couldn't get out of the yard" ughhhh!!!

Fear not, though!! I WILL HAVE THESE LASERS TODAY!! I'm leaving right now to go pick them up... wish me luck.... :cool: :cool: :cool:
