Labor Day musings
1. I had a nice weekend, pool party and BBQ at my uncle's, most of family was there.
2. Installed garage door opener here at home. I bought this house from a cabinet maker. He did great upgrades on this house, and built huge garage which he used as workshop, but never parked a vehicle inside. I wanted convenience of opener so bought one and installed it. The garage is a bit customized, 8 foot tall door, but regular height rafters, a tight fit for clearance. Also the goofy safety beams were tricky, and the door down tension needed adjustment. I also need a 4 foot extension cord to reach where I put the outlet, not realiziing the 8 foot door required the opener to be positioned further back. I am happy with the end result of project.
3. At Walmart, a new toy for the collection: Hot Wheels 1 :32 scale RC Challenger in orange, in display box
