Ever post a photo and realize you goofed up building something?

The frame above the upper 20H has to removed and rebuilt or we won't be able to reach into the tank!

Ooops!

Ooops!

Sounds perfect for a reef tank. It would keep anyone from constantly changing things!

But just a bit difficult to sell anything out of it.

I forgot to post that a MAJOR milestone is happening today. Internet and phone are getting installed! We will finally be able to order business cards, etc!

May not seem like much, but, to me, it means it's getting closer!

dantimdad · Nov 26, 2019

Well that was ridiculous!

Appointment was at 4. Showed up at 4:52. Supposed to take 1 to 2 hours. I got home at 8:15 and the store is 3 minutes from the house if I miss the light.

:mad:

But, we have screaming fast internet in the store now and a real live phone number so I am ordering business cards today!

Also, the folks moving in next door are a T-shirt and vinyl print company. How convenient is that?

Is this your way of saying productivity in the store is about to drop markedly?

New T shirt design is pending...

As most of you know, I am an IT administrator. 30 years experience. I should know, understand and properly use technology. Right?

Yesterday, a coworker and I were discussing Alexa whilst I was doing an upgrade on his computer and I was telling him how convenient is was. For instance: There are black friday specials that you can only get by voice ordering. (Showed him the app on my phone) I said "You can say Alexa, order a sandstone echo dot 3" and it will order it.

He was convinced and is going to order up a couple dots.

I put my phone away and went on about my day working in the plant where it's noisy and I didn't hear any alerts until I get in the car to leave and my phone goes nuts as usual. I look down and one notification stands out more than the rest: Your order of Echo Dot has shipped and will arrive tomorrow.

DOH! I had the app open when I gave him an example!

Suffice it to say, the store will now have a shiny new Echo Dot this evening.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

I actually noticed that, but I knew you'd catch it.

Nice! Lol. They are on sale right now too.

Katrina71 · Nov 27, 2019

I'm asking for a 2nd hand echo dot on our list here. The show looks interesting too. The 8" one.

I fixed it while waiting on the cable guy.

I also noticed the two 45 degree angled pieces were down 1.5" too far so I recut them.

That whole corner there was a last minute decision while framing the wall and it showed. LOL!
