Somebody set up us the bomb baby!

Thats right! The base is completed and you know what that means? If you said all your base jokes then not only are you correct but all your base do indeed belong to us. David, my chief collaborator in all this, has returned from a 7 day cruise of the western carribean, lucky dog.  But he was excited to be back and with his help we completed construction of the base, got it's feet painted and put on, and the Luon wrapped around the front piece.  Stick a fork in it!  All we need to do now is install the carpet on the base, said carpet is on order and will merit it's own post when it gets here.  Getting to the the table top soon!

Words are boring you see.  Well main screen turn on for some pix

The bottom of the base, look at the stylin feet!

The last of my Luon wasn't quite tall enough to go all the way up under the foot rest.  I'm just gonna carpet over that gap and hope that no one notices.  Shhhh it'll be our secret okay?

From the top.  Sturdy as an ox, an ox with a rockin footrest.

Because you wanted to see the unfinished part

So ya, this is the base again.  Pretty sweet huh?  

Know how many screws it took?   OVER 9000 - oh never mind wrong meme

Japan is our theme for the nights Amazon sales section.  Our first stop, Pocky cause it's good, you should buy some (Srsly - Almond Crush rocks).  Now hows about a hug pillow, if you bought the condoms from a post or two back you probably aren't in the market for a hug pillow, but for everyone else?  They should buy one or two. (You haven't lived if you haven't watched some one marry one of these things.)   Back on a serious note, with a quick bow to O Sensei, brush up on your budo with a book by or about Morihei Ueshiba.  I'll finish out my list with some music, and as tempting as it was to put some J-Pop in there, I decided to go with something a little more approachable - so Hi-Standard it is, their cover of California Dreaming is one of the most awesome covers ever.
