Fixed the Garage Door



Ever since I wrecked the bikes into the house the garage door has been broken. Not a big deal but something I've been meaning to get to. Then a lady on the block started a neighborhood watch group and told us about some of the crime that had happened... robberies, etc. So I decided it was time to fix the damn garage door. Getting it back onto the track was the hardest part. Had to completely undo the track and muscle the thing in. Next, the belt, a 4L310, had to be replaced. Ace Hardware had one. It's nice to fix something in the real world every now and then. I used to do tons of stuff with my hands but these days I'm so bogged down with computer work that I never get to it. Last night I spent about 40 minutes with it. Today it took ten minutes to go buy the $6.47 part and about another ten minutes to install it. Anyhow, the garage door is now fixed. Up and down. Up and down.
