I bought a cabinet to use for various work items such as a second laptop, scanner, paperwork, etc. I had things scattered on whatever I could find around the house...a little end table that once held an aquarium and a TV tray. Now it's all together in one place and it rolls around so I can pull it closer to work from it or push it back against the wall when I am done.
Took a bit to get it put together but I managed to do it by myself and only suffered a small blood blister on my finger. There wasn't even any swearing so I'm a little surprised it got assembled at all.
Swearing intimidates parts into submission. Nothing goes together well without it.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

The snow just started here -and we really have not had any real accumulation. I have not even put gas in the snowblower yet..
That's probably going to change. Expecting 4-6 inches snow tonight and another 4 tomorrow....
Ugh...
At this point we start cheering for global warming.
We've got 3 days of snow coming up and 4 nights of sub zero.
Groceries tomorrow AM, then cabin fever.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

One good thing of having a bit of a survivalist mindset.
I avoid the "there's a big storm coming" crowd at the grocery store.....
Me, too.
While they're all there I'm looting their houses.

We took advantage of the crappy weather to go buy another Saturn. A 2002 SL2 (4 door). Red. Manual transmission. Colorado car. Rust free. The only Michigan winter it has been drove in - is this year. It should last the rest of my lifetime - and then some. $900.
This is our 24th Saturn - and the 14th we now have - 10 driveable.
It's a niche hobby.
