I've got some chores to do. Including my weekend afternoon cookie.
The garage door fixit guy is coming today -- he had been due yesterday, but called to postpone.
It is my betcha that the coils in the little motor have finally burned through. The mechanism has been working since the Chateau was built 25 years ago.
I have had to open and close it by hand three fargin times since the mechanism took a crap. The problem with that is -- it's a special, heavy, hurricane-proof door. Closing it is really hard. Opening it is done by surging lifting increments of inches and rest, until finally at the overhead final push stage I am hanging on the door with spots in my eyes, and A-fib in my busted bod which is now apparently in open rebellion. Jeez.
And I am most ricky-tick going to try to shed my Gomer Pyle, and see if he knows anybody that knows anybody that can arrange a source of flowers.

Easy access to the repair, that's a good thing right off the bat.

and it’s muddy , spiders and webs , and some old fiberglass insulation
I need a fecking hazmat suit
so yeah , in site of SubGirls admonishment to get all the right parts , I still needed a second 50 mile round trip for more parts
rough day for a rookie apprentice wanna be plumber![]()
Does it make you feel good enough for a belly-laugh or are you waiting for a special occasion?
FYI-77-80 is when you've used all 15.3% you and your employer paid in. After that it's sucking off the government teat:
I hate plumbing almost as much as I hate electrical work. As far as plumbing goes I never get the correct parts.Hola Amigo!

Then leave me aloneI'm not here for your feels, Pute.
I hope it starts here soon. Humidity is still in the teens….to dry to rain.We are getting rain that's actually hitting the ground and making it moist........go team!
I've always found if you don't have extra or leftover parts you don't know what you're doingNo such thing as extra backups,spares just in cases are all essential parts.
