Semi–Well . . .
As I mentioned yesterday, Jan says that I don’t do nothing well. So I guess I did a lot less today, so maybe ‘semi-well’, anyway.
So, other than wandering around on the Internet and checking out some ideas for a change on my client’s website, along with dinner at Black Bear Diner about 3:30, was about it for the day.
Really nice!
Although it seems to have been a false alarm, I was concerned to see that our new Samsung 43” Smart TV, which was supposed to be delivered to my client’s office tomorrow, was out for delivery today via FedEx.
When no one is at the office.
And based on past experiences, I was not really reassured that they wouldn’t just leave it propped up against the front door. It’s certainly happened before.
But it was listed as being delivered by 8pm, and it’s now almost 9, so maybe I dodged a bullet. We’ll see tomorrow, I guess.
If some of you are Migraine suffers like Jan is, you might interested in this article. It turns out that exposing yourself to green light seems to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks.
A lot of people seem to have had good luck with it. And it’s cheap and you don’t need a prescription. Check it out.
You might also want to check out these Aculief Acupressure Clamps. They clamp onto the web between your thumb and forefinger, and are said to relieve/reduce migraine pain via acupuncture.
They’re not really expensive, and they have a money-back guarantee. I ordered Jan a set so we’ll let you know.
Also, if you’ve been thinking about getting an Amazon Echo Dot, check out this deal.
You can get a 3rd Gen Echo Dot for only 99 cents.
Well, actually it’s $8.98. But that’s still about 1/3 the normal price.
So what’s the catch?
You get the Dot for 99 cents when you sign up for a one month trial of Amazon Music Unlimited for $7.99. It will be set up for Auto-Renewal, but you can just cancel it at the end of the month.
However, Amazon Music Unlimited gives you access to over 50 million songs, ad-free, so you might decide you want to keep it.
So check it out.

Cart X 2 , , ,
Today was our first real day to just zone out and do nothing since we got back from New York. But as Jan says about me, ‘I don’t do nothing well.’ So after goofing off in the morning, I spent some time in the afternoon finishing up a project that I kind of started before we left on our trip.
Back in 2014 we bought this Chrome Kitchen Cart on Amazon.
It resides in the area where the slide occupies when it’s pulled in. So we roll it into the bathroom and bungee it in place when we travel. Since we’re always looking for more storage space, recently I checked online to see if a taller one was available, or maybe an extension for this one, but no luck.
But in looking the cart over, I pulled off the plastic caps that covered the top of the 4 support rods and found that they were hollow inside, and about 12” deep.
Grabbing a 7/16” dowel rod I had, I found it a perfect fit, and this gave me an idea, so I ordered a 2nd cart from Amazon, a great deal for only about $33.
But since it only came in a few days before we NYC’d, today was the first day I’ve had a chance to get back on it.
The included wheels screw into a a threaded insert at the bottom of the rod. So I purchased a couple of hanger bolts like this, in the same 1/4” – 20 thread as the wheels.
Then I drilled a starter hole in the two dowel rods and screwed in the bolts, giving me this.
I only did this on two of the support rods, using long machine bolts for the other two, figuring this will lock everything in place, and also save me buying another dowel rod.
Screwing the dowels into the support rods gave me this.
And then putting it all together gave me this,
complete with our Moose On A Shelf.
And Jan’s really happy with all the new space, and that’s the important thing.
I’m still going through all our NYC photos, so stay tuned.
