Sometimes ya want to get some old computers cause maybe there is some nice CPUs in them
Sometimes thats around a 800 mile trip
Sometimes everything breaks and it takes 26 hours
But hey maybe I got some good stuff

Lol that's my definition of quality time 😂
Also AMD would have bought the first picture as an advertisement for Bulldozer or Excavator! |

Sounds like my idea of a good day out (apart from the trailer breaking)

Trips like that are very exhausting and costly - a lot of gasoline but that is adventure like you said and sometimes can bring nice catches. Before lockdown I drove a lot for similar purposes

Definitely quality time. 
I have also done many trips, longest one is about 900 km (~560 mile).

Haha, nice.
Hopefully there's diamond in the rough.
Did myself some crazy trips for some computers.
700km to get my gateway P5-133XL from first owner.
900km for my gateway G6-200XL from first owner also
(I LOVE those two computers)
I'd do it again for say some amstrad mega PC or whatnot.

My favorite pastime is digging up computer junk. But this is often not good for your health.

53 gallons of the liquid gold LOL
It'll take a while to have time to sort it, lots of non computer boards too, but maybe cool MCUs on them
probably be able to get a similar tote a year from this place LOL

it reminded me of the basement of a large university where mountains of computers were taller than humans, had to walk on computers cases.
I took out from there a few cars of computers
