    Latest cleanout load made the wife real happy

    Got a truck and trailer load of metal stuff from a contractor doing a State clean-out. Most was the typical stuff. My wife went through it and pulled out a couple things including a brand new still-in-the-box 10-piece Oriental brand wok she'd wanted so she was happy about that. But today we unloaded some more and she found a LUXO brand magnifier that clamps on a table like a drafting lamp. She does a lot of arts and crafts and I've rarely seen her so excited in 32 years. Now she wants me to build her a table that will hold it steady. I'm (in)famous for how I "overbuild" stuff. Usually, she says my stuff is too "rough" for her. But now she's put in a special order - "as sturdy as you can make it so it'll hold my lamp".

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
