Cleaning and organizing

necturusI'm spending the long weekend going through my stuff, organizing it, and getting rid of stuff that is useless.
This was prompted by my being unable to find a GPIO card that I need for the Vermont project. I had originally intended it for a machine I sent to Main last fall, but it didn't fit, so I put it Somewhere Safe thinking I wouldn't need it for a while... and now, of course, I need it and can't find the thing.
I'm about two thirds through the various places where it might be, and am wondering if it is under a pile of paper somewhere.
In the middle of this, the snake got smelly, so I had to put him in a bathtub full of warm water while I took everything out of his tank and tried to clean it as best as I can (without, of course, using any sort of chemical that might irritate him). He unballed and started swimming around in the tub, and I was a bit worried he might get out and start exploring. Fortunately there was no doggy around for him to encounter.
I also did two loads of laundry today. Now, having reset the log at the New Hampshire FM and soldered a couple of connectors onto a Western Electric 111C repeat coil for WHRB, I can go to bed.
The featured speaker at Thursday's commencement is Oprah Winfrey, who will presumably get an honorary degree. Oprah must be hum-free, unlike last year's speaker (whom I have already forgotten; was it Bill Gates? or was he the previous year's?).
