Welcome to another week. Another week of working on customizations for people in Florida so I get to be up at 4am when I really don't need to be. Sigh. The faster I get this shit done though, I might be able to sleep on Thursday and Friday. We shall see. But then again, I have to be in NC next week and will be up at 2am relative time. Yay.
We went thrift store hunting yesterday. B found a pair of shoes, some glasses (the drinking kind, not wearing), and I found a 1966 Magnavox astro sonic console stereo cabinet for $3. You read that right. $3. It works too. The turntable needs a new cartridge so that will be my challenge. We found a great A/V shop that specializes in that sort of thing and they gave me some good advice. We will probably put about $50 - $75 into this thing to make it really work and sparkle but what a conversation piece! We saw similar ones in working condition on eBay for $300+. All in all, a good thrift store bonanza.
We had BBQ while out and just had a really pleasant weekend. That's the best way to describe it too. Pleasant. Which is not a bad descriptor. Oh, I also found 3 Doctor Who pops. $10 each. Which okay, why does that make me happy? The three I found are 'rare' ones and I priced them at Amazon and the same three pops would have been $85. So yeah, that made me happy.
That was the weekend. Now for the week. Today will show me what kind of people these are as I sent them something for review late Friday. Let's see how much I get this morning in changes. Not looking forward to that. Got to make a car reservation next before I forget. Ah, fun stuff begins.
