Speaking of snow, me and a couple of friends built a snowfort at the school parking lot:
The text above the entrance reads: "Fortress. No girls allowed".
It's pretty badass. There's an entrance at the ground level which leads to a small room inside the pile. Then there are stairs inside the pile that lead to the top some 3 meters higher. It has sentry tower too (far right in the picture), that's some two meters from the ground. I think we moved a couple of cubic meters of snow building that.

Spark gaps: The long tube placed horizontally is the Eii-43-100 containing 0.9uc of Cs137 (beta emitter) at the time it was manufactured. Most of the Cs decays into metastable barium 137, responsible of gamma emission of aprox. 0.5MeV. I would need very tick lead to shield that completely. The tick tube is the GL 471A used in radars. The brown base tubes is the russian RB5 .

You can never have too many capacitors...I just got my 48 yellow capacitors from ebay today for a MMC. These are the Arcotronic 1200V 1.2uF capacitors. Cost was about 70 dollars.
Then i decided for fun to fill my desk with my older capacitors, such as my SGTC MMC.

Found this at ze scavenging yard
I traded it to a fellow HV enthusiast at the time...
At the time I also found:- an xbox, a PS2 Slim (aka doorstop), and two RX-80 series dot matrix printers. Oh, and an AMD Athlon 64 X2 on the floor with bent pins but none broken (yet!) I will have to try my syringe trick
