Got the quote back, which isn't so fun. $1560 worth of not fun :{

Wonder if I can just duct tape a plank of wood to the wall...

It's that time of year, for the spooky #meowbox !
Jingly eyeballs, a catnip ghost that looks like bunnycat, a stuffed mummy in a stuffed coffin, and a dangley springy set of bats on a string.
Along with some turk-o-treat turkey bites 🙀​

That feeling when you find/fix a long outstanding bug in your code, that turns out you caused in the first place years ago...

It's like lifting an empty suitcase that you thought was heavy and full. Awesome for just a split second until you realize your a doof
