Trip to Mount Wilson (paid!)
Went down to LA to repair Charles Townes' telescopes. After a long day of heavy labor, we snuck into the 100" telescope. I couldn't get a good shot of the telescope itself but you can see it and read more about it here:

HAHA, hooker telescope. Shut up.
Anyway, it's cool to see the mix of old, precision wood and metalworking a la Jules Verne.
