More Chiropractor?

Sunday here wasn't warm at all. It was overcast and gloomy. An early shower of rain meant there was no bike riding for the day.

Therefore all was fine for moving the furniture around in the office. The first job was to disconnect everything and move it into the lounge room. Then it was necessary to empty out the refrigerator. I decided it was a little warmer than I had first thought it was. This photo shows the lounge room filled with computer bits and the contents of the fridge!

Despite removing 95% of the stuff from the office table it was still very much a two person job to move. It had been in the one spot for around 10 years so when things had been emptied and shifted away from the wall Trish got in a did a quick clean.

The fridge moved easily when we put a piece of carpet under it and slid it around.

When the furniture had been repositioned it was time to reconnect things. We modified the original plan a little so I didn't need the extra long VGA cable to connect the old PC with the TV Monitor.

I was relieved when after reconnecting things and turning them back on everything worked. The main PC wanted to reinstall drivers because I had plugged things back into a different USB connector on the PC and it thought it was 'new hardware'.

We found the small filing cabinet didn't allow much room for my legs under the table. Some furniture and things were rearranged in a wardrobe and now the filing cabinet lives there. It was also decided to put the main PC cabinet under the table freeing up even more space on the table top. Some leads needed modifying to connect the speakers to the main PC but now Monday morning everything seems to be working OK.

And the purpose of all this work was to ensure easy access to the phone point on the wall in front of my chair under the huge office table.

All we need to do now is make another appointment with the Chiropractor to get out backs 'done' again!

My footy team suffered a rare loss but the other team sure played very well. It seems the numerous injuries my side has isn't helping with getting the best team on the field each week. Trish's team had a comfortable win and are sitting nicely on the ladder.

Trish is at a meeting this morning. Being a sunny morning and despite a light overnight shower, I managed a 12k bike ride this morning. The swim in the pool was abbreviated because at 22.3 degrees, it is beginning to be a little cool for a long morning cool off swim!
