A Trip to Town... Supplies Needed...

OK...First I hit Walmart and K Mart.  I was in search of a rug for my workroom...

The carpet in there is a mess... from 15 or more years of spillage.  I can't see getting a new one or even tile...It would mean that I had to move EVERYTHING out of there and then put it all back.  Then in a week, it would be messed up again.

Anyway, I found the black 5 by 7 rug for under twenty dollars.  Sure.  It will show dirt, but it's going to work just fine.  Besides, I like black.  So there!

I also found the lampshade at K Mart.  It makes a world of difference.  The cork one just wasn't working.  Too much light escaping through the sides of it.

Anyway, my next stop was Dollar Tree.  I wanted the tea lights for Daisy's Time Machine.

The plastic glasses are part of the plan too...

Just for fun, I found coffin boxes that are perfect mini size.  I wouldn't be at all surprised if Tessie took to sleeping in one. At least until Halloween...

Now.  About the time machine.  I gathered up some of the stuff that I think I will need and probably some that I won't need.

I took the windows out so that the thing will be easier to paint.  I also took the fancy handle off of the top.  I have other plans for the top.  No handle needed.

Daisy sent another short note that the time machine should match her house, so that when she is home she  can park it on the roof and it will look like part of the building... She doesn't want much...

Anyway, by the time I had most of the hardware off, the Terrible Two were there, with their heads together...

I am going to have to watch this build closely.  I suspect that they are planning a kidnapping... Or should I say a time machine napping...

I heard Zar say..."You know... Rome was really nice, this time of year in 2014BC.  I doubt that he has any idea what it was like back then, but he wants to find out... And he considers Tessie a willing accomplice.

I am going to make sure that I hide the spark plugs when we get to that stage of the game... Do time machines have spark plugs?  Hmmmm... I'm going to have to look into that.

See you tomorrow.
