foolish_m0rtal | Steampunk Meetup

Finally drove down to Massachusetts to meet my old friends from the Charles River Museum Steampunk meetup. I emptied my purse when I got back and found 2 biscotti (from tea time), a fountain pen with 6 nibs (from the swap table), and a small bag of very fine blueberry tea with flowers and dried fruit (my own tea contribution). I feel swag as hell.

I wanted to drink some of my tea in the evening, but I didn't have an infuser, so I asked my extended stay hotel for more coffee satchets, cut a slice in one of them, and dumped out the coffee. Then I spooned in my tea, twisted the top, and tied it off with thread from my emergency sewing kit. Result? The worst looking tea bag of all time, but it does the job (even thought it still smells slightly of coffee). I guess this is what the engineering department meant by problem solving, though I suspect they meant some invention to benefit humanity, and not to make myself a cuppa.
