SurfShelf Laptop Holder

…but my SurfShelf is so delightful. 

I am the biggest wuss when it comes to being out in the cold.  That may sound a little strange coming from someone who grew up in Montana.  As a kid my brothers and I enjoyed ice skating, sledding, and our favorite winter pastime, damming up the melt water running down the hill behind our house.  We’d build massive snow damns and wait for the water to fill them up.  When it reached the top we’d bust open the damn and watch the river of water rush down the street.  Sometimes we didn’t bust the damns up enough and they froze, hi-centering cars trying to drive through the alley.  I’m sure the neighbors hated us.

But now that I live in a sunny part of California, I’d die if I had to endure a Montana winter.  It was bad enough the last few nights dipping into the 20’s.  I can hear some of you laughing and saying, “You think 20 is cold?”  I know, I know.  My very last Montana winter dipped down to -40 in 1975.

So here I am sitting in front of the computer like I do all the ding dong day.  I working on my blogs and thinking to myself, I really, REALLY need to get out and walk.  But, it’s 45 out and that’s just way too cold for me.  So I printed out a techy 14-page document I wanted to read and headed out to the other room to read on the treadmill.

That didn’t work out so hot.  I was holding the report in my hand and couldn’t keep it still enough to read.  So I put my SurfShelf in place and laid the document on it.  Normally, the SurfShelf is intended to be a laptop or portable DVD holder, but it worked just fine for reading.  Before I knew it, 23 minutes had gone by and thats 23 minutes worth of exercise I wouldn’t have done if it wasn’t for my SurfShelf.

If you have a treadmill or any other piece of exercise equipment that has console on it, get yourself a SurfShelf and get some work done while you walk.
