Wednesday's Bird is a....

 

Wednesday's bird got preempted by a chair. I finally replaced it after putting up with my old broken one for at least a year or so. The other one was perfect in every way except from time to time and for no apparent reason or cause I could discern, it would suddenly start lowering itself and there I'd be, practically eye level with the tabletop, frustrated beyond belief.

I'd done some research online, but nothing can take the place of actually SITTING in a chair and feeling how it fits.

So Wednesday evening, after picking up my grocery order, I started into the lane that went home, but the lane that led to the big box office supply store was empty and I thought, what the hell, no time like the present.

So I drove over and parked and then sat in practically every office chair in the store. My requirements were these: mesh seat covers (much cooler), ability to remove the armrests, and that it felt OK.

Less than a half hour later the big box was in the back seat of my car. After dinner I put the sucker together. I need somebody with strong hands to loosen the big knob underneath so I can make the thing lean back, but otherwise it's good.

You know, those little things...
