Part of the reason that I like my job so much is that there are so many different aspects involved in the day to day activity of it, it never seems mundane or boring.

Having a job that is fun and exciting is something that everyone wants and few people have. We have all heard the saying It isnt work when you love your job and I am one who can honestly say that that is true. There is rarely a day that goes by that doesnt involve my work in some form or another and more often than not, my work or work related tasks seem to encompass a good part of my day.

I found this really cool garage door opener remote that uses biometrics technology while I was in Sears the other day. It was in the hardware department of course! They had it on display.

The name of it is the Craftsman EntryEase Fingerprint Keyless Entry Pad.

We left off at a point where it would be a good idea to now do a dry-fit of the top to the apron.
Dry-fit the top to the apron. Before going further, now is a good time to dry-fit the slant top to the apron so that you can get the exact location of the dado which stores the metal stand when the desktop is closed.
With the metal stand flat against the back of the top, place the top on the right side of the apron, allowing a 1/2” overhang on front, left, and back. Carefully mark where the metal touches the stand holder to cut the dado so the metal stand will drop into holder.
