260517 Getting it together.

It’s a great day to be alive!
Five years ago I could say: It’s a great day to be alive at 75!
Now I’m going to have to wait 4 more years to say: It’s a great day to be alive at 85!

Today I put together an all black writing desk.
That may sound easy to do and it is relatively easy, If you have the instructions! I did not have any instructions. I was standing, then keeling, then laying on my side and back. Up and down and working made for a tiring day.

I actually have 2 of the black desks and the second one didn’t have an instruction sheet either. It is annoying when half way through, you realize one major component is backwards! That had to be taken apart and then I had to find the correct component.
Back in the day when I had a good memory I might have avoided installing a component backwards.

The second one may be easier to put together, unless of course some of the fasteners are missing. The screws and wooden dowels are near impossible to find, unless I take a trip to China, because there are none here.
