08-02-2025 — Shelving an idea.

Howdy all. Another wonderful day outside with temps going from mid50s overnight to low 70s this afternoon. Overcast a little, and mild winds. And more bad Air Quality (can’t be all good). No rain in 10 day forecast still. So that 1/4 inch is all we will see for like a month period. Phew. Anyway, the garden is ugh. I did try to do something with the cucumber harvest.

Doesn’t a cucumber sub sandwich sound great? Nope, just didn’t work for me. Still just a lot of cucumber taste. I may try the roast or air fry of cucumber spears.

After another lousy sleep night, I figured I should try to be a little active, even if I was tired. So, I went upstairs and I done gone and did this finally.  The upper wood shelf can hold 8-10 of those cereal containers that are perfect for sealing in open rolls of filament.  The lower will have desiccant packs.  And then a few filament racks that could in theory hold about 40 -50 rolls.  

Thus I cleaned up a couple of the shelving unit’s shelves to put what I needed in visible space.  

And, look at the hallway at the top of the stairs.   You see a carpet and a wall.  Every single item is moved.  

One of those boxes was a lithium battery UPS that I had forgotten.  Almost bought another during Prime Days.  

Lots more needs done, but I finally restarted again.  

And only cut myself once and just one new big bruise on my leg.    Success!!

An after shelves installed and loaded picture. These are floating shelves. You install a bracket with pipes sticking out, on the wall, slide shelf on, and screw it to the pipe.

More room on this shelving unit makes it nicer.

It has probably been a year since this area was clear of boxes of stuff for projects. Yippee for me.

Now that I know it is relatively easy to install these type of shelves, I want to get the two up over the new CO2 laser in that room. I have everything sitting on its table waiting for me to get ‘er done.

So much else I also need to do in those rooms. Like installing upgrades to the Diode laser to do 40 watts, and get the latest software on it. And for that matter, I haven’t finished setting up and testing the CO2 Laser box. Also I need to install gizmos on the two 3D printers to make prints less likely to fail.

But at least for today, I feel like I accomplished something, so for a few hours, I can Enjoy Life.
