I’m enjoying a day off between bouts of re-purposing the shelving units from Borders. Final push is tomorrow, and then my part will be finished.

Chat ya later…

First post of a new millennium (of posts) – yeah, no pressure.

At the Store, the bookcases are going in with a minimum of fuss and bother. There was a mis-measurement or mis-communication about the measurements (I didn’t measure, I’m just installing this time) so there was a slight mix up about the shorter wall – we ended up moving the cases after putting some slatwall back up, and then taking back down. No problems, though – all in a day’s work. Today I start on the upper cases. They all need to be cut down, and one section over the doorway between the two walls will require some fancy rework. The driving factor for the rework is the library ladder that was included in the bookcase purchase. The Education Room is really starting to look a lot more library-ish – most of the existing bookcases are being re-purposed and replacing slatwall shelving. It’s going to look pretty good in there once it’s finished. The whole project should be completed by end of day Saturday, God willing.

Have a good Thursday – remember to wear Red tomorrow.

1,000.

Finally, after nearly six years in the blogosphere, I have finally made it to the milestone.

Along the way, I’ve made a lot of friends. I’ve met a lot of other bloggers, some I’ve kept up with, others who have fallen by the way side, still others who have passed on while still active (Old Ranter, Basti), and a precious few that I have actually had the pleasure to meet (Douglas Gibbs, Gawfer, Greybeard). There is a host of them in Southern California that I look forward to possibly meeting up with in June, after the ASTRA convention (Robert, Gawfer some more, Doug some more, maybe Jenn, maybe even John and his sister, and Paul).

I even made a run for president. Don’t you wish I was there instead of the bozo we have now?

I became a New Daddy.

My blog has been used as evidence by the City of Phoenix in an attempt to trample on the First Amendment rights of a private citizen.

Many other bloggers out there have published many more entries than I, heck, some of them *cough*Texas Fred*cough* do that in a matter of months.

I don’t write about politics as much anymore, my weight has popped back up to the 220 range since I quite the paper route, and I have landed in a job that I believe will carry me though my golden years.

I still enjoy working with wood, and get to do just that on occasion.

But, perhaps best of all, I still get to share my world with you, my loyal reader(s).

Man, I’m glad that’s out of my system!

I owe an apology to Gawfer for cutting our chat short last night on Facebook – but, when the system says run, you better.

Boss Lady has a cool project in the works – as many of you are painfully aware, Borders is shutting many stores. The one nearby Kidstop is one of them, and they are at the point where their fixtures are on sale. Boss Lady and her business partner wrangled a deal for a string of bookcases and a library ladder for the Education Room – so yours truly will be taking out and repurposing the existing shelving on two walls, and then installing the Borders units. It’s gonne look real nice – be sure to come in and see it when it’s finished!

What – you thought I would stay home yesterday with so much to do? Nope – made it to court, made it to work, then got sent home when I kept turning green and having to sit down. Nice nap yesterday afternoon, though.

Monday morning. Stomach is upset. I had planned on going to court with Pastor, since the City has extra money and wants to continue to apply commercial codes to a private residence. I’m not due at work until noon. I have a cup of Thera-Flu in front of me, yesterday’s meals came out the wrong way already, and with the back door wide open and 61 beautiful degrees of breeze wafting in I’m sitting here sweating like a pig.

I think I’m sick.
