Ok, maybe you do not. But I do. And I might as well write about it while I do. As regular readers are aware, Better Half and I are gearing up for attending our very first Appleseed shoot in a little...

well, that is that

After damned near eight solid hours of work, more trial and error than I care to admit, and only a small amount of blood loss, I have this:  Not pretty, but it works.  Definitely not pretty.  One of...

That did not take long, did it?  Well, for some strange reason, the storage bin in the center console of FJ cruisers comes without a lid:  And, for some reason, that bugs me.  Yeah, I know, that does...
