Fry's had a good deal on an i7 laptop, so we went to Fry's and bought one. Ellen is spending the entire afternoon getting it initialized. Right now she's having some kind of trouble with the bluetooth printer connection.
I was feeling ambitious, and the weather is significantly warmer today. So I decided to tackle some of the Christmas projects. Those are the projects initiated by the Christmas presents i got. On the way back from Fry's I got some straps and anchors for the new speaker mounts. When I got home I turned the straps into adapters for the mounts. That involved drilling six holes, some hacksaw work, and some grinding.
Putting the first mount on a speaker was easy. Everything bolted together without a problem. Unfortunately the second stand wasn't built to the same specs. I had to grind away half of the nut on a mounting screw to make it work. I'm going to save mounting the mounts and speakers to the wall for another day.
I also put up the solar post lights on the deck. They turned out to be easy because they came with flush mounts. I was thinking that I would have to build mounts. I'll see if they work tomorrow or the next day when they are fully charged.
I'm going to watch the Cowboys tonight. Hopefully they'll lose.
