Finally got around to wall mounting my tv.
Should have taken more photos. Oh well.
1. My Tv.

2. The brackets.

These things bolt into the rear on the tv, in my case I had to remove four bolts, placeholders I guess. Getting them on properly took some fiddling as the back of their tv is not completely flat. The hooks go over the top edge of the wall mount and the bottom clip in and lock into place with a slide bar.
3. The actual wall mount.

Yeah. I had some trouble. Having gotten it measured and the bottom bolts in, (the two in the ovals on the bottom row) I went to put the two top bolts in.
The heads snapped off both. making the holes unusable. All I could do was bolt in some plates along the same line and hope for the best. The tv was where I wanted it to be so I braced it as best I could and hoped for the best.


4. Finished.

I’m waiting to see if its going to fall off the wall before bothering to tidy cables, install rca wall points and such.

* Lui – Still dead, planted a tree for him, neighbour made him a little headstone. Hurts.
* Got a new toy, a Tevion P310 gps. $179 fro Aldi. Came with 256 internal memoer rather than the 512 the advertised. Plan to whinge. It did however come with an extra licence key for Route 66 mapping software. Its kinda nice I guess.
* Garden shite proceeding, will start separating and re-potting next week.
* Got a quote for the network and theater cable install I want. $1800 + GST. Fuck.
* Got a new fridge. Was using Bens old one after he bailed, it leaked a little, ate lots of power but it was free. New one is pretty nice, stainless steel and has a little water dispenser on the door.
* Got a new diswasher…nice, stainless steel too….pity I’m fucking retarded. I had to take the feet and top off to get it to fit….not all the same size it turns out.
* One of my neighbours put up some shitty trellis on the back corner of the shared fence, shitty as in three different types with gaps. So I put up four times as much on my side. I put up about 30 garden lights + string lights in my trees too so the whole yard glows at night. Neighbor war to follow? Perhaps.
Not much else to tell. Working most of my weekends this month as overtime to pay for this shit and extra on the mortgage.Almost four months ahead now. Starting to wonder what the point is really. I’m never there to use/enjoy any of it.
Puppy is still around, trying not to hate her.
I miss my friend.
