Wait, I thought you liked or owned a Greeny at one time. lol, -

Oh well lol..

The brown is cool as well.

Lots of old wood boxes like that around, Different brands..I recall oak star made one that looked like a Kennedy as well.

The Metal Kennedys came with Green liners at one time..I've looked at a bunch in the past, not kidding lol.

Well Best Buy is forcing me to make a purchase using their card or they're going to end me again. Happens every 2 or 3 years.

Guess maybe a good backlit kb for the dt..can't think of anything cool at the moment.

Oh wait,one of my TV's was suppose to quit working 2024...kept getting a warning.lol.

EDIT: Checked, still working today though.. Apparently it's the Blue ray player that's suppose to go incompatible on me. Unless that's some bs message. Spare room unit, grand kids might use it when they come and stay for awhile. I have a little time, guess I could update that as well. Any ideas?

I got mine from NAPA. Dude told me "I'll give you a 15% discount on it". Then later when I looked at the receipt, it said "Senior Discount". Wasn't too sure if I look that old, or if he was just using that option. LOL.

Not just Walmart...all the grocery stores.

A good idea ruined.
Got everything we ordered but the bottled water. Which... IDGAS about because I use the water that's filtered in the fridge. For some reason, my Wife and kids like that bottled stuff. I'll drink it in a pinch, but if I am home, nothing beats the ice and water out of my fridge.

What the hell? Quit working why? Ohhh... maybe no more updates from the manufacturer? I don't feel like I've ever gone wrong with a Samsung or Sony product (minus Sony's car audio).

It's the Sony...about 9 or 10 years old. I'll keep it for the Blue-ray for the DVD collection here and maybe add another Roku to connect with for that room. Cheap solve, the TV in that room is more less a monitor..great picture, not ready to chuck it.

I'll have to update to the new Outlook on the DT apparently for calendar and mail. The older one isn't going to work much longer. Backed the stuff up last month that I needed, went back 5 years anyway...hope that's enough. Just in case sync fails.

Not that big of a deal guess.

Do it as far away from anything as possible, and get a good, ventilated hood.
I don't remember where I got this one, but it wasn't expensive.


My cabinet is 4' wide x 2.5' tall x 2.5 deep.
So, I rarely use the portable unit.

I blasted an entire Ford Torino frame and lower body once.
I built a tent with translucent poly, duck tape, and furring strips in a bay of the garage.
I used an old air handler fan to vent the air from the tent and left a hole at the top for makeup air.
Wish I had taken pics.
Still had a little but of dust escape into the garage but that was probably from after I turned off the vent fan.
It worked great though.

Edit, I also didn't feel I had enough air into the hood so I installed a filter on another air line and tubed it into my hood to keep down the condensation and keep out the dust.
