Good Morning!!!! 68F @ 4:00AM. Sunny. High 83F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph.
Please report back to us, Eric, on how long you can work before the battery on your new saw needs recharging. Curious I am, indeed!
It's great Ellen has sussed out so many things to do, Top, as long as it's understood that great variety doesn't all have to be done in just one trip!:laughing:
Maybe something like this in the cabinet above the pan would work, David?

Had a talk yesterday with a Mac repair person and found out Apple recalled the MacBookPros in 2011 to replace the graphics processing unit, and the symptoms I've been seeing are typical for that failure. Unfortunately the recall, which was inspired by a class action lawsuit, ended in 2016, so I'm on the hook for the repair costs. Found a nice, big, piece of packing foam to wrap the laptop in, and dropped it off at the postoffice yesterday. Hopefully it'll be back good-as-new in a week or two.
A large hardware store chain, Orchard Supply, is going out of business and is offering 40%-80% off all merchandise right now. Thought I'd jump in the F250 and maybe find some nice steel cabinets, but the old truck didn't want to start. Cranked just fine, but wouldn't catch, and made that clicking relay sound of a dead battery. It has two, and I think one is bad. Took the Vanagon to town instead, and it sure is nice to have that option. Didn't find even one cabinet for sale, but I did load up on the various sizes of watch batteries and metric taps and dies, and a hold down device for the drillpress table that might help save my fingers. There were isles and isles of Christmas decorations and, of all things, packing foam, all being offered at discounted prices that were still overpriced. Thinking like that is part of what caused them to go out of business, I guess...
Stopped by the mechanic's and used his code reader to diagnose the Check Engine Light, and learned it has to do with the transmission neutral switch. It's a common bugaboo with the Subaru transplant, and another indicator that he's not as knowledgeable as he would like his customers to think. From what I can gather, it's easily rememdied by running a wire from the engine control unit to ground through a 470 ohm resistor, a small supply of which I've already purchased for another similar fault he says he's fixed but that I haven't verified. Wanna bet he botched that, too?
The bumper delivery saga continues with news that the shipment was sent to the Redding, CA delivery center because the one in Sacramento doesn't make deliveries to my area. Then when it got there it was discovered that the center in Redding doesn't service my area, either.
My only option is to drive an hour south to meet a delivery truck in a Home Depot parking lot, but that'll have to wait until Monday because the bumpers have to go back to Sacramento first. Unbelievable.:banghead::banghead::banghead:
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
