This ought to mess Strouty up. He might think he lost a few hundred posts!
And maybe people will think he is posting twice as much as he already is (Which is a lot!).

Ha! Good one! 
Sorry, maybe I can make a condensed version in another thread.
Yes, call it cliff notes...

Damn, wasn't your avatar something green yesterday? These changes are confusing..
How are we supposed to keep track of the old-timers if they change their avatars?! [emoji14]
I think once you hit maybe 3 or 4k posts, that's it, your avatar is locked in forever ...
Btw, on a serious note, the shop is looking good!

Now THAT avatar is PERFECT!
And delicious! YUM!
Is that because you are right behind him, and ready to eat his lunch?

I was having trouble keeping up with the evolving Avatars. This made me realize that I select people I want to read and those I choose to ignore based on their avatar, I enjoy following Strouty.

Change can be painful! I'm sure we'll get used to it...
Although I do keep thinking that you're Tampa when I scan past the avatar ..

Glad to see that you seem to be making good progress!
That's pretty similar to what I have been doing. Move everything out of a work station, sorting and relocating to appropriate locations as much of it as possible while moving it out. Big stuff goes on HF moving dollies to make them easy to shift around. Then do what ever needs to be done at the work station (tool racks/holders, new butcher block top, mount vise, new cabinets, etc.) and finally move the stuff that belongs there back into place. Then move on to the next station and repeat.

I am in the office today, trying to get all my new company info figured out. I finally got reasonably priced insurance! It ***** that I had to start from square one, but it is allowing me to expand because this name is much less specific. I am also thinking I may do a DBA to handle the tower end of it. The best of both worlds. If I get to anything in the shop I will get some pictures up.
The snap on guy came by, he is prepping me for this Wednesday, he has the rock and roll truck. I am still not sure what I am going to do, but if the deal is right I may end up with a new box. We will see, I know it is going to keep my thoughts racing for the next couple of nights. I did offer to let them drive the 6x6 for an extra discount, his response was hell yes! I like my driver, he has a good sense of humor.
No shop progress today, gotta do some cleaning tomorrow, especially with the fancy truck coming to visit on Wednesday.

I have been picking on Bill today, but yesterday I was at an auction buying things.
I bought a pencil sharpener for the office, another kiln (for who knows what reason), a military style cargo box, and a dresser with two matching nightstands. My GF bought a tall cabinet that she wanted to use in the kitchen while we are remodeling. After buying the stuff and getting ready to load it, I realized that it was not the quality that I initially thought it was. Frustration set in, I was all set to go straight to goodwill with it. I bought it to replace my existing all wood dresser and cheap nightstands. This new one is not all wood, it has veneered MDF for the tops.
I decided to be positive about it because it was still built well. I took measurements and it seemed to be a good size for replacement. Well, after getting it all upstairs in the bedroom it really isn't much larger capacity, but it is a lot wider. So it takes up more room with minimal gain. At this point I am still seeing the negative side, $75 spent, half a day wasted, I would have been better off not going!
In the end, it does have a little more room, plus it gives me a wider surface to work with when folding clothes. It has space underneath it and I am going to see what I can find for storage bins, if I get some that fit nice, then I will be better off anyways.
The nightstands are great, they look nice and they have a drawer to put things in, that helps keep the clutter to a minimum! So after taking a few breaths, it turned out fine, but I was panicked for a few minutes. We spent a few hours moving things around, then loaded up the old furniture and headed off to goodwill. Everything was dropped off and we decided to have a nice dinner out. Disaster and regression averted!
Now I am off to the shop to unload the kiln and get some tools ready for a job I have on Wednesday.

Why is it always the easy things that seem to turn into a nightmare? The files are way worse than I thought. I am separating them by basic type right now, but I will need to go back and really organize them. I am finding a ton of paperwork to recycle and some to shred. I also have found several large files that can go to my Father's office, so that is even better! I am hopeful, but I did have other things that I wanted to get done today, looks like am going to have to reschedule those and move forward with this project. It will be nice to at least feel like I am getting something done.
Jeeezuz!! you really are a hoarder!.... maybe u should sell some stuff...just an idea
Bill is a trained professional, you should not attempt this at home, unless supervised by a professional.
Now the office looks like a tornado hit!
I have a milk crate worth of files that are headed to my Father's office. I also have at least that much headed to the recycling too. I now have a bunch of space freed up and I can see some light at the end of the tunnel!
It looks like I may need to go to staples to pick up a few things as well. Funny thing is I hate those little tabs that go on the hanging file folders, but since I can't back up very far, it will be the only way I will know what is in the files. Now I have to figure out how to print those and I need to buy more tabs, I tossed a bunch out during the initial clean out of the office. This week is kind of scary for me, I am doing a couple of jobs, the first real tower work this year. I am nervous that my arm will act up, I have been fighting tennis elbow for a few months. I spent friday afternoon helping my brother limbing some trees, it is a little sore from that, but not bad. I have to get all my tools out and loaded into the suburban, I think the last tower work I did was back in early November 2014.
Tomorrow I hope to get a bit more of the filing done, I ended up finding all the titles except one, and I am not even sure if I ever had one for the trailer or not. It looks like the state will require it, so I have to do some research and find out why I don't have the title. I bought the trailer from and auction, so I am going to talk with them first.

I can sympathize with you. I ended up with a car and no title. I had to go through the "lost title" stuff to get a new one. I hope that you don't have to do that.
...In Oklahoma I think you can take the VIN to the DMV and find out who the registered owner is. If you can get them to fill out a bill of sale you just have to go file it.
