Yesterday I was in the shower and heard a loud crash coming from the garage.

Went out there thinking something fell off a shelf or maybe something hanging from the ceiling fell down. It was loud.

Found nothing out of place.

Woke up and wife said she had a hard time getting the garage door opened.

Garage door spring broke. I'm not paying emergency repair rates for a Saturday fix. Not doing it myself either, nearly killed myself last time I attempted that. So it'll wait for Monday.

Had the garage spring go before. It shook the kitchen. I'd heard spring repair horror stories, so hired that one out

I think I was in my last house about 15-16 years or so before mine went. I didn't hear any noises at all. The garage door just wouldn't budge. Undid the opener mechanism and hand lifted it... it was heavy as fuuuudge and I had an aluminum door. Propped it open with a screwdriver to get the truck out and called a garage door repair guy. IIRC it cost me a couple hundy for 2 springs and installation.

Fixing garage door springs is easy. Just need a pair of vice grips and a crow bar.... here, hold my beer.

Wise move on the spring, Macs. Some people do it yourself and end up in the emergency room.

Morning folks. Wifey and I tried a new burger joint last night called Burger Therapy. Menu had about 15 different ways to have it and we both liked ours.

All the waitresses wore shirts that said "Trust me it will fit" I never did find out if that was a boast or an insult.Think

Monday morning rain and a cold weekly forecast. It's not expected to get past 59 all this week. All coffee up and nowhere to go but the 5 miler will happen even iffn I have to go to the gym and ride the treadmill.

I'm thinking about going to the indoor range for a little practice after that.

Nope.

Niners won handily against Tom terrific with a rookie 7th round QB.

It went well and still feels better then it did... guess I should of got it looked at back in July, they might have been able to save tendon I'd ruptured and ruined over the months of trying to just work through it?? the Doc scrapped a bone spur and removed the damaged tendon... Wednesday I go back and possibly get the cast off... Herfing

He came to Orlando about 5-10 years ago and we herfed at his condo, but I haven't heard from him since, other than exchanging a few posts on a different cigar forum. He is an interesting, kind man.

72-74F with heavy clouds, but no rain today.
Going to the beach to hang out with my best friend at his condo, survey the condo destruction on the beach from the hurricane(s), smoke cigars, etc. I turned 61 today!
Hope everyone has a great day.

Sunny Monday. Got about 2" of fluffy snow yesterday. Not enough to plow but enough for people to practice winter driving. It's pretty much melting away now.

My son (Sr in High School) got a letter. Two year scholarship for full tuition for any university, college, community college in the U-Mass system. Only 2 yr scholarship but it's a start.

Had a video conference call/interview with a IT company that has contracts for local and surrounding towns for IT support (school districts, town municipalities, police, fire, EMT). Most of the work would be on site IT support for the local schools. Next step is a face to face interview next week.

Keeping my fingers crossed, I think it would be a good gig. I'd be starting out at ground level with the new IT degree but ya gotta start somewhere.

Congratulations to your son and proud Pop too.

Good luck on the continued interviews.

IT in schools is going to be interesting. The Savannah River Site, where I worked, used to donate a lot of used computer/network equipment to local schools. Employees, like me, volunteered to install/help them. In addition to the (too) smart kids screwing with the computers there were others that crammed in more than one CD into a drive or crammed and anything else that would fit, in any opening.

Man, break/fix for a school district sounds like a special kind of Hades...
