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

4. Magazines to post

I'll bet some of those things were the Wife's idea (if -U-have one) to get you out of the house because you were driving her CRAZY..
OR
It was your idea to stop yourself from going crazy..
(btw, it is 4:30 AM here and I bet you are awake looking through the worn out brochure,, you're prolly at the dealership already..) anything to pass the time..

RE: Labor Day musings
 

Congrats Steve!

Guess we won't be seeing any posts from you for a couple more days...I think that is the typical response (no response) when each of us pick up our cars!

RE: Labor Day musings
 

Congrats, I know it's been a long time coming. I spent my day doing a different kind of "dodge", as in dodging a major hurricane. [sm=yikesomg.gif]

RE: Labor Day musings
 

Yankee, I hope you faired well in your dodging over the holiday weekend

RE: Labor Day musings
 

Thanks, it hasn't been so bad where I am, still getting alot of rain, and at least I got a couple of more days off work. :D

RE: Labor Day musings
 

Yankee, keep safe and out of the rain.

Hannah looks like it will miss the Gulf Coast but you never know about Ike.

For Labor Day all I did was clean out my 3rd car garage...........hopefully in preparation for the future Plum Crazy monster. ;)
