Are you finally finished moving????
That has to be the longest running move I'd ever heard of!
Not quite. One more truck. The move has been going on for about a
year. There have been nine trucks so far; seven 24' liftgate trucks and
two 16' non-liftgate.
~50 racks, about a dozen racks' worth of gear for which there are no
racks, about a hundred 14" disk packs of various flavors (for CDC9762,
9766, DEC RL01/02, RA60), ~1100 books, 1000+ 9-track magtapes with tape
racks, ~25 terminals, ~40 desktop-class computers, a large electronics
lab involving four racks of test equipment and lots of bench gear,
component stocks comprising many tens of thousands of components.
Oh, and a couch.
All while working full-time++ on the most demanding job I've had in
fifteen years. Here's me, on Interstate 95 one of those road trips,
writing firmware on a laptop with a prototype of my new design (the one
that just shipped) while my lady drove:

...and here's me debugging hardware on the little table in a hotel
room with a portable oscilloscope while stopped for the night, I think
in South Carolina:

It has been a very busy year, and I am getting really tired. But I'm
happy anyway! (just thought I'd share!)
