I don’t think all of my parts are going to arrive in time for me to take a crack at assembling a DrawBot this weekend.  Per the USPS:

• MakerBot shipment:  Your item departed our OAKLAND, CA 94615 sort facility on January 13, 2012.
• Adafruit  shipment:  Your item departed our NEW YORK, NY 10199 sort facility on January 13, 2012.

I think the best I can hope for is getting my motor shield tomorrow.  That’s okay, there’s plenty to do in the meantime.  I must learn patience.
