I'm many pages behind, catch up later.

Wet all day yesterday, so I spent 6+ hours in the garage, lots of bending and shoulder strain. Not as stiff & sore today as expected, but I'm going to give the garage a rest today.

The garage door roller replacement is gonna be a lot more expensive than expected, found some things I hadn't noticed before. Two bolts had pulled out of the wood door frame and one of the cables doesn't look so good, think it's time to replace it. That means re-tensioning the spring, and I just don't want to fool with those. Figure if I'm gonna pay a young guy that knows what he's doing and has the tools for it, might as well get a new set of cables and springs, and probably not ever have to worry about it again. I had a spring break on the previous door, lucky it broke before it lifted the door, if they're in the air they can twist the tracks and jam badly. Wood hate to have a door fall on 3 or 4 motorcycles...

You can add the app but you have to get an invite from someone who hosts their own server.

Good morning Mick, I see you’re on tap for more rain today.

Absolutely great idea....I saw one of those torsion springs bust loose, good thing they are wrapped around a bar or it would have been like a 60 cal goin' off.

I’ve had a couple of those springs let loose in the past and they will startle you for sure.

John checked in yesterday to inquire about the sudden electricity drain in OK. Were you running the margarita machine out by the pool?
