Hey there, I picked up this thread just recently and I'm not sure who's gonna be in Sac next week, but I want to encourage whoever it is to give me a call and come on by my place. I live in Davis. I'm 16 minutes away from Fry's, I'm 27 minutes away from HSC, I've got a garage and workroom full of stuff, and I'm always looking for someone to chew the fat with re mechanics, electronics, CNC, PICs, and the grandkids. My phone no is 530-753-4632. I'm looking forward to meeting whoever you are.

Adam, Although not electronic, but still fun and interesting is the LeBrea (?) Tar Pits, and the Zoo. And although not exactly in LA, Knotts Berry Farm is an interesting tour. But since you're strapped for time, these may not fit into your schedule.
