Greetings, gang.
Partly cloudy and 66 right now headed for a high of 92. Heat wave through next Thursday.
Yesterday I got the Masonite® cut for the forms on the new bridge. I got the first four cut when the neighbor walked out his back door. First I yelled at him for not working and earning my Social Security money and then drafted him to help me cut the rest of the boards. With two of us it made for very quick work.
Last night I needed to put something in the car so I hit the button to open the garage door and it only moved a couple inches. I tried pushing it down and lifting it via the handle. Lifting it worked, sort of. The door went up but came right back down. Then I noticed the top panel was tilted back. Not good. Had to crawl through an 18X33 basement window. For some reason the top rollers had come off the track. Got wrench and fixed that. Tried to open the door with the opener and the motor just clicked. Sounds like it's time for a new opener. The old one only lasted about 50 years. I'll probably only get 10 years out of the new one. Bright spot - my next door neighbor runs a garage door company.
All stay safe.
Tom
