Every time I go out to prepare something for breakfast... *click*, like a magnet I go right back to work. This time I started working on getting the components out of the floor shelving. Lots and lots o' wires. I always forget, overlook, ignore, until they are in my hands and having to be dealt with again, for whatever reason. WIRES! Wireless isn't better, just invisible, possibly toxic. As if this many wires isn't already. Hey, but... out of mind, out of sight, for some. Until the lesions I suppose. Never mind that last, just trying to be cheery. You are welcome.
Anyway, so I get the components out, mostly intact from what I can tell. Oh, yeah, if you have arms, for shelving, sticky out from the wall 18" over what you are working on below? Remove them. No mishap required, just a bit of fussing and dodging before the notion struck. No eyes were lost in the making of this blog post. I did try, mind you. Came as close as is probably possible. Yeah, take down long pointy things, if possible, when they stick out at eye level while you are working on stuff, more so working in already cramped quarters. So, after components, I removed the glass shelving to see what the floor-based shelving setup looked like.
Perfect. The glass was held on by suckers, and the shelves were simply rectangular frames, of welded squares actually, bolted to either the body frame or back brace. They all came off and out easily. No hitch, no trick, no problems. I decided to leave the top shelf and frame together as a single structure. I will put that particular piece of glass, after returning the suckers that hold it, back in. It will work as a small coffee type table. I don't do coffee on tables, coffee tables or otherwise, but I do have... things that need to go somewhere. Due to a slight imbalance, it needs to go against a wall, but I can do that. The rest of the metal can be used for various things. I am thinking they might work for the construction of a solar oven... making it slightly beefier than wood alone. Or... who knows. But good strong metal, and bolts, if the intended design was an absolute failure. Lemons? Make lemonade, you know.
So, I have that all stripped. Everything sorted into cave and garage piles, and simply need to sort the wires and components, move them, and just a bit more, and I should be ready to vacuum before long. Maybe not today, with what all else is planned, but... it's getting there. As to the wall-mounted shelving? As I suggested, the shelves came out as frames, rectangular. And they would work. But why add the extra weight? I am thinking of simply drilling holes for the suckers, right into the shelf arms, then simply attaching the glass to those. It would save some weight, and the metal frames could be used for something else. I'm not sure how strong those shelf arms are, so... one less thing to worry... as much... about. Innit?
Hmm... not sure about time. I might be able to get the shelving up, and the components stacked, before a shower then hiking. I don't know for sure. I want breakfast... uhrm lunch anyway... though too! I might be able to fit it all in. As to the title? It seems that, even when running into absolute headwind, maybe even being shoved by it into negative territory, it seems that keeping at it might have solid rewards. A lesson, as I go further, and might face such headwinds, even stronger ones, lasting longer periods of time. Just... keep plugging away. If you feel like exploding? Don't. You'll just regret it. I would have, I am almost sure. Ignore emotions until you get back to your feet, in positive territory, back on your way, and then can reflect during a break. Yeah... yeah, I think so.
Oh, yeah, I already printed the return label for the gps and accessories, have them packaged, taped, and ready to go. A quick stop on my way through town to the hike. Dang kids anyway. I don't think I need anything from the stores today, so... Just a hike, maybe a dinner on the way back. Oh... is it just me, or have fast food chains... been having trouble keeping good hires? Are they helping with Zero's "problems"? Something is going off the rails. I have exited using most fast food restaurants in town, I'm down to using one or two, and those... I won't eat in a place I don't trust. And that trust comes through having workers that don't offend every sense of civil, normal, clean, and neat that I have. I'm an cave ogre, but even I have standards. If McDonalds, and several others, are trying to get ahead through political machinations, allowances, or such, at least locally, they are doing it all wrong. At least for me. I won't eat in what I suspect is a pigpen, run by gangers or other questionable sorts. Just won't do it. And get CNN off your televisions. If you can't, then get rid of the televisions altogether. Actually, I would prefer the latter. I don't appreciate any propaganda while I eat, and don't believe sports are legit, so don't even bother with that. Sheesh, guys. Your murdering your own businesses for the approval of politicians who want to see you put out of business. What DON'T you get? Gah! Oh? Oh yeah. Watch what is happening to insurance companies. Go on, take a look. Idiots.
How did I learn the blade so well? Ah, that. I started with me. Never stopped. You just got close. Osmosis or some such. If you don't like the bite, back off. Or learn to embrace, and discern. I didn't, probably, even invite you.
Bah. Later.
