Jim,

Very clean looking setup. Kudos for doing it on a tight budget and for significantly less than retail.

Thanks guys. It makes it a lot easier to get into the bathroom and bedroom now. I am very happy with the way it turned out. I didn't expect it to take so long, but that is the result of inexperience, and a little bit of procrastination thrown in for good measure.

Jim

Thanks. It looks ten times better than what it did. Now I can use the computer cart for what it was designed for, my laptop. Watched some TV today, and i noticed the shelves were tilted a bit to the right. So I rearranged the electronics on them to even out the load. All I need would be for them to fall, and/or the glass to break.

Don't forget to wear green today, so you don't get pinched. My wife already "reminded me" and she's got some freakin' longass fingernails.

Happy Friday night Nor Cal. Yes, I am still here, yes I am all right, and no, I did not pin a $20 to my shirt and walk around Fresno. I can't even walk to the mailbox anymore. Much less around the city. LOL. This past week my left knee has been hurting way too much for my liking. I have a doctor's appointment on the 22nd. If it is still bad, I will let them know. It seems to be getting worse, and it is all over the knee, front back, hurts when I stand, and hurts even more when I walk. Not good.

Jim

Happy Super Duty Saturday Nor Cal. No plans for me today except vacuum the carpets, and take out the trash. Very strenuous. LOL

Well in my case, it probably takes about 30 minutes to vacuum and take out the trash, but that is because this is a very small one bedroom apartment. And once that it done, I have the rest of the day to play on the computer, or Xbox, or what not. The Xbox One is finally on its way back to me, but is not scheduled to arrive until next Thursday.

I swept the floors better. Ran a range this morning and then finished up the rest of the day at the Merit Badge Pow Wow with 100 teenage Boy Scouts

Came home and the floors were swept along with the laundry done!

Mama is awesome!
