Back to work today! One of the other delivery guys is out for 2 weeks now. I believe they were as glad as I was to be back at work.

Thanks for checking in guys. Bob, Yes definitely a lot of work. But, the gathering of the family is the best part. Even if it was just a "social-distanced-drive-by-drop off" of pictures and other decorations. Terrick, It is a great way to share the history with all the nieces and nephews and...

I know this is a few days late for the subject matter, but, this is the first chance I have had to post up the pictures. For the last 13 years, my wifes side of the family has taken part in our city museums celebration of the Mexican tradition,Dia de los Muertos. The shortest, best explanation...

Hi all! I finally have a project worth posting about! In pic. #1 , here's the problem. I have to reach in BEHIND the fridge to turn on the lights. In pic. #2, Every good monster/steampunk/junk builder shop needs a cool looking "Frankenstein" type switch to throw. And this one's mine. It's just...
