exhaustion it's what I do
Fell asleep before posting this last night, so a little delayed:
This has been a busy and exhausting weekend. Pretty much all of it can be summed up as yard work. The big accomplishments were getting the lawn almost all mowed and getting about 400sq ft cleared of invasive species. That bit was the largest chunk remaining in which we still had rose, Japanese barberry, and honeysuckle. It was mostly barberry, so I was pretty well perforated by very tiny thorns.
I also got my new sit stand desk assembled. Working from home I spend way too much time sitting in front of the computer. I decided to get the desk and try it out before deciding on things like keyboard tray and monitor mounts. It's an Uplift commercial model, which is not cheap! I got the 24x48 because I want a narrow desk. So far I'm impressed. The raise/lower is quick and quiet. Because I don't have everything set up yet, my monitor is on it's cheesy little feet standing on the surface. It doesn't wobble going up and down. Nor do I have to worry about a partially filled glass of water. I am a hard typer, which on flimsy setups will create resonance and monitor bounce. So far I'm not seeing any of that. If I intentionally hit the front of the desk I can see some vibration, but typing seems to be rock solid. So, overall, so far so good.
I do plan to get a pole to mount the monitor. That will allow me to bring it up into a little more ergo appropriate position (right now I'm looking down too far). I'm also planning to add a keyboard/mouse tray, so they won't take up much of the desk real estate.
What I will miss is having the small drawers which the repurposed Singer sewing machine cabinet provides (three, two usable in my config, on each side). I will probably work on pimping out my new ride a bit, maybe fuzzy dice and shag carpet.
