wherein said support panel has a pair of holes each extending through a top surface and a bottom surface of said support panel;
wherein each of said holes is spaced from a respective one of said first end and said second end;
wherein said support panel is elongated between said first end and said second end;
wherein said support panel has a channel being recessed into said top surface;
wherein said channel is elongated to extend a substantial distance between said pair of holes; and
wherein said channel is centrally located between said front edge and said back edge of said support panel.
