Black Friday without shopping...

I wasn't going to go out shopping on Black Friday and slept in in the morning just to make the point....  But I didn't have any encouragement from Loyce as she said she wasn't about to brave any of the crowds...

But since today was my Birthday and I became old enough for all those entitlements that I have paid into for so many years, I was pleasantly surprised to find my UPS man banging on my door about noon....

This drives Biscuit batty as she goes into her attack dog mode charging for the door in an uncontrollable manner...  Where's the dog whisperer when you need him.....?

Of course Loyce accused me of having ordered another watch which she said I didn't need...   And I knew from instant messaging that my oldest son, and more correctly his wife Mel, had sent me a present...  But I played along and told Loyce that it was about time I ordered another watch since I hadn't received one for a couple of months....

But inside the overnight box was a set of Harley Davidson wide web suspenders and a new pair of nose pickers.....  I know, that's gross, and I didn't even know what those were until some of my lunch brothers had to explain that fingerless gloves were so named....

Mel got it right off the bat when I asked what they thought my gloves were called.... Chris kind of shook his head, but sure enough that made for a good gift....  And this HD accessory paraphernalia  stuff isn't cheap, so I appreciate their thought...

Anyway I eventually broke my rule about not shopping on BF when I went to Lowes...  And they had those drill bits from the other day, but they were popular and I ended up taking the last package from the rack again....  3/32nds must be the size that everyone breaks off....

So that started another project as today I purchased some LED under counter lights...  They had several sizes, but I bought the 18 inch as they fit under the double cabinet on the back wall of the kitchen..

I didn't know if I could make the light work, and it was $27 so I only purchased one.....  It had the brackets and tiny screws as well as daisy chain cable in the package, once I cut the hermetically sealed blast proof packaging off...

It went up in under an hour, and did a nice job so I ended up going back and getting the second light and some tiny screws and washers to route the wiring...

I used some of the little white cable mounts to route the wires up under the cabinets in order that they can't be seen....  I may have to redo some of that, but for now it works rather nicely...

That was the extent of my projects for today and Loyce was true to her word and never left the house......not worth it she said about BF...
