Smart, very symertical.. however, what's happened to the speakers totally out of alignment.. My OCD has sky rocketed!!!

Actually, the speakers appear equidistance from the screen support. Does that help?

My wife found a cockroach in our bathroom. Freaked out and got large pest control firm out. They bilked her for all the services. Had new vapor barrier underneath the house. Dude that was under there noted pooling in a few spots and said our sump pump was not working.

‘I don’t know much about sump pumps but I can try to fix it for you.’

Last night I could hear that thing trying to suck something up every couple hours. Never heard it the entire time I’ve lived here. Pissed I gotta crawl under there today. (Which I should get around to, soon?)

YIKES!

I strongly you hire a professional to "fix" the sump pump!

I'd list the reasons why, but the list is too long -

Built a fence to separate the back half of the yard from the grass side. Passion fruit vine was planted after this photo so that it can grow into fence and provide "free" fruit. Tangelo tree to the right of the fence is ready to give fruit.

Dude put the zip tied cord bundle underneath the float. There was no water in the reservoir. I don’t know what the fuck that dude was seeing, thinking, or telling my wife.

Haha yeah, that was the original intention. Then when I sat and started using the setup, I realized I sit centered to the main screen (obviously) so spacing them equally from the arm mounting location (which had to be offset to accommodate a 21:9 screen) is not ideal.

I have since swapped the right speaker location over to the far right, which previously had a plug/usb insert.

It actually makes way more sense now both visually and usage wise. The previous location of the plug/usb insert was too far away to be easily accessible

How do those metal gates keep the sun off of the cars?

Gates are for keeping dogs in the yard, The house above keeps the sun off. That said, the house faces east so they do get some of the good morning sun LOL!

My oven is finally here. Now I have to get it installed. I'm still too screwed up from my fall to do it myself. I can't lift much right now.

Did your oven come by freight wagon? -

I hope your back gets healed up soon.

I got a new dishwasher today. I had it delivered, installed and the old one taken away - and there ain't nutten wrong with my back - I'm just lazy.

THAT was an un-fun $1,000.

The old one got to the point where we had to wash the dishes before we put them in and dry them when they came out. -
