A prisoner in my own home!

That would so happen to me...vent away!

The worst part is my schedule is blown for the day.

The door and the mechanical parts are old. I've just been fixing and replacing things as needed over the years. Perhaps it's time for a new one. But, I could really see spending that money on something else, a vacation perhaps?

I have a manual garage door (we don't keep our cars in it - just bikes) and it is really hard to open that door. It kind of catches on something about 10 inches up and feels locked. Very frustrating when I am trying to get to my bike! I feel your pain.

Service men came earlier than expected. When has that ever happened? Two big burly boys can't even get the door open. Evidently, a large spring at the top is broken in half and bearings, rails, etc are worn and frayed. I'm sure they're just adding on at this time, but getting sprung from the house is worth it. It'll probably be about $500 when all is said and done. The market is the first order of business, then, if the rains don't come, there'll be time for a short ride.

Of course, Ms. Barky von Schnauzer is having a field day with all the commotion.

Well, that should make you feel a little better. Sort of.

Glad your day wasn't completely hosed.
