My mom used to keep a drawer in the kitchen— all lids went in that drawer so you could effortlessly find the lid later without having to dig through the bottom cabinet…

Anyway, Becca was at Target the other day and they were selling lid organizers that fit right inside the cabinet door; you could just drop the lids in there and you can reach in, get a bowl and all the lids should be right there.

But the problems with the concept was that this thing was $8…

I thought what about a file holder, or an inbox you would hang on the wall… So, we went to the office section of the store, and sure enough; the inbox for folders was $2.

Instant savings… same function.

Here’s my version…

I didn’t use screws. I used industrial two sided tape…
I didn’t want to use screws because the wood is so thin and I didn’t want to mess it up. And I placed the holder closer to the top and to the inside of the door to have more bottom space and so that the holder would hit the cabinet as the door was trying to close.

Also, the tape added some space between the door and the plastic to help it breathe more; just in case the dishes have a little water on them…

It works because otherwise that space is wasted anyways… I’m thinking about making or installing a pull out for the pots and pans.

I believe this works out good.And I may do something like this on another door for cutting boards…

We’ve been keeping busy and now that the good weather is coming back around our way, I’ve been working on a few projects.

By the way, some of you’ve seen this, but this is my view from my back porch…

That’s Lookout Mountain over there, just to the left… It’s nice at sun set…

And this is us…

There’s normally a flag on front for the TN VOLS, but the one of the last strong storms damaged it; I’m going to have to get around to fix it one day.

This is MOMO; I like him named more as MOFO, but, oh, well…

He’s a ragdoll cat, he’s supposed to get to be about 25lbs and right now, he’s about 1 year old and 16lbs… he’s pretty healthy and I also believe a bit retarded at times.

A little while back, Ethan whacked his eye brow and must have some stitches; now he matches me, but I still win, becuase I had more.

And Ethan has been playing baseball here and doing great for his first year. I didn’t know if he was going to be left or right handed. But he throws left handed and bats at either left or right. I’m still waiting to see if he’s better at one or the other…

Here’s a picture of his team…

Humorously, I’m getting used to seeing the ubiquitous southeast sights…

What can I say; people think differently… sometimes, much…

I worked out in the yard a bit recently. I put in a retaining wall in the back yard about 3′ high and I relocated a lot of the flowers and bushes and such to lower part of the back yard— to have more ‘yard’…

The grass is already coming in for the cleared off area…

And I just finished with clearing out some holly bushes from around the porch area. Cranked out the ole chain saw and buzz buzz baby and they were down…

To ensure no one drops off my porch, I put up a new rail on the far side of the sitting area…

And we accented the porch with solar lights to put a glow on the back yard… It looks nice at night…

I will try to post more often…

He takes a bow…

I’m finally getting around to putting this video on the Internet from the Dallas ComiCon..

I had a friend that went to the comic convention and  he couldn’t make it for the Sunday even, so he gave me the pass he bought to just go and walk around. Me and Another guy [Carlos] went and we were lucky enough to wonder around.

Well, we wondereed around long enough to finally go up stairs to see what was going on…

We walked in to the this massive conference room where Stan Lee and another fella was giving little Q & A session on various topics of Marvel comics…

It was great.

I’ve had it on my camera all these months and finally got around to putting them on my new computer. So, anyway, I slapped them together in Windows Live Movie Maker and let it whip up a quick movie and wha-la…

Here’s what I ended up with… If you like comics and Stan Lee, it should be interesting for you…

Until next time,
