                            I will in a little bit
                            Grandkids just showed up and want me to get out of my shop and see them for a few minutes!
                            I also need to replace the batteries in my TV remote. They just got dead!

                            I’ll be back in a little bit.

                            Thanks everyone!

                              ok, the solution is in the custom css
                              the issue is the TV screen is a wide-screen
                              I just didn’t play around with it enough to see any differences
                              everything on screen now. removed the border, increased the border size.

                                so investigate the css further

                                Well, I’ll be . . .

                                  yeah, realized the main issue was trying to get it to have a border and it just wouldn’t work with the wide screen monitor of the TV.
