Sitting on the couch right now.

My son: Oh yeah mom, dad bought some clownfish today.

Wife: You bought more clownfish? How much were they?

Quick distract her with these. My wife found them at Goodwill and asked if I could use two pushed together as a stand. I'm wondering if it would work

Which Goodwill? My son and mother-in-law went to Lake Pleasant and Rio Vista Goodwills this morning. I was pulling the transmission out of my Envoy. :face-with-rolling-eyes:

We do a bit. Lots of cheap sports equipment for the kids to try a new sport and an occasional gem.
I check periodically for golf clubs. I don't get enjoyment from shopping so I usually go in, hit the golf clubs, hit the sports shelves and the pet stuff, and then walk out and leave my wife and kids with my mother-in-law. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

I grab cheap polos and shorts for work. If I'm going to get battery acid from the forklifts eating through them I'd rather get them for $1 than $15

More and more looking like this will be the stand.

2000 lb limit per shelf.
Not a bad price. We welded angle iron and square stock for my stands. I think it was $50-$75 in materials per stand but we had to be the labor.

In the building it's $199 and they run a $50 coupon about 2-3 times a year. I don't weld. And in hoping for a metal stand for this one. I asked someone I know for a quote depending on what it ends up being I may go that route

Good choice of vehicles our Envoy has been great for us and still is.
Yeah... I lost 3rd and fourth gear potentially. My father-in-law thinks it's the 2-4 band. We pulled the transmission today, gonna overhaul it later. They went Striper fishing at Pleasant and archery deer opens Friday so it may be a week or two...
