Some loser shouted 'smile!' out the car window at me and touched his hand to his mouth. I wish I had said something back but I was just surprised.

Today's riddle... My slats average 1.3 inches, in order to avoid some hardware, I only have 29.5 inches to work with...
How many slats can I use and how far apart must they be spaced to have one on each end at the 29.5 width with an even space of at least 1.3 inches between them so there is perfect symmetry? I already figured it out...
Had I known I was going to do this, I would have put a string line down before I screw in the top to have a parallel/square area to work with and a wider area...
Adapting to changes... hmmmmmmm...

Hey everyone ! I always want to come in here and join in but I get intimated by the volume and the speed of the posting!
So I put on my big girl Walmart panties and am jumping in. I will see if I can keep up!

quiet here for a Saturday morning...
Waiting patiently for weasel to post some pics...
well, I have a couple... I can finally say it's done... I pre-drilled 77 oversized holes for the screws, just need to touch up paint and or put glue drops over them so water doesn't pool at the screw sites...

Welcome and I hope everyone who wants to join in knows we don't bite!!! I cannot keep up so don't try. Just take what works and leave the rest. Simple!
EDIT: I just read you prefer a bite. Yes... I am sure we can accommodate! Lots of zingers and fun here!

At the expense of spamming the thread... I shall proceed...
My car got chickened.
Yes process that... Chickened.
I never park direct out of the building. I usually park away as a black shiny car attracts. Well.... I come out today and find a fully whole cooked battered fried chicken breast on the windshild of my car. Some little brat also wiped their greasy fingers on the hood. I live in a rather higher end complex that one would not expect this sort of thing. But then I considered.... Where the hell would I have to live to expect this sort of thing. I got angry at first. Then laughed.
I got chickened!!!!!
