Hey all I am beat, wiped out, muscles spasming, shoulders screaming, and so tired. I had my allergy shots this morning. Yesterday the new TV arm came in and this afternoon after Ron had his nap he decided that we should put up the arm. I had a nice rolling stand for the TV that held my Xbox stuff. But Ron did not like it for my new office and … well my eyesight has deteriorated again and to play Halo even on the 4K 55-inch screen I need it close to me to see the important icon info at the bottom of the screen. Just like I have my monitors at 250 scale. So Ron and I sat down and investigated TV arms with really long extension that were rated for twice what we thought my TV weighted. This one goes out 43 inched and is rated for 110 pounds, which my TV is like a third of that. And by my dogs that love gravy the bracket is really heavy and seriously built. Ron and I had a few missteps installing it, and tomorrow he will adjust it. We need to raise the TV by 2 to 3 inches, or near to the shelf bracket above the TV. That can be done by changing the rails that hook the bracket to the TV. Plus Ron wants to shift the bracket over as much as the sliding space for the screws will allow. But we got it put up. But after trying to hold the bracket to the wall and carrying the TV a bunch of times, and then putting the TV on the bracket my damaged shoulders are screaming in pain and losing all strength, my back was spasming horribly and I am losing the ability to walk. Ron did not want to continue with me this hurting. Here are the pictures I took as we were doing the work. Hugs






Wowie!

Many more shelves have been put in now that the bracket is in. Boy it is a monster, really heavy. But Ron wanted something that when fully extended wouldn’t buckle or twist. It is a struggle for me to move it or extend it, but worth it. We call my new office “Scotties Playtime Pink Palace”. I love it, I love having my own space again. Hugs

No hurry; I’m putting this here so you won’t have to backtrack far if you want to see it. You’d mentioned FL getting a lot of curricula from Prager U, and today, The Guardian has an article about tax dollars at work, along with generous “donations” which I’m certain are deductible: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/sep/06/prageru-climate-change-denier-republican-donors

Thank you Ali. I will post this. This dishonesty in education is a serious affront to democracy. The right doesn’t want a thinking public, they want obedient followers / soldiers. Hugs
