Day 894

I woke up at 8 this morning, but stayed in bed awhile playing games.  When I got up it was pet stuff and breakfast followed by a little surfing.  Then I went to the garage to start the process of going to Oregon.  I opened up the outside doors on the trailer and put some stuff from the apartment in it.  I also took a couple of things out.  Then I moved some other stuff into the truck.

When I folded the truck bed cover I noticed that the screws holding one of the latches had all come out.  So I went back to the garage to find 5 bigger screws.  They couldn't be any longer, but they had to be thicker.  It took awhile to find ones that would work.  Then I had to drill out the holes in the latch metal.  The result looks good though.

It was almost noon by the time I was done.  They garage guys had called before 11 to say they'd be there in an hour.  I ate lunch and started reading.  The garage guys showed up about 1.

Apparently installing the opener is a lot more complicated than just bolting it on.  They had to remove the door and do a bunch of other stuff.  They weren't done until almost 5.  That meant the whole day was killed.  I was a little pissed.  We have some time critical things to get done that didn't get done.

After they left I put the garage back together.  I also took a couple of things to the back storage building.  Then I took the dog to the mailbox.  I didn't do my exercises because they were working on the door.  The good thing is that the new door/opener combination works great.

Dinner was a TV dinner and salad.  After dinner I did some reading.  The TV was on, but I didn't really watch it.

Apparently Isaac is arriving tomorrow.  I'll have to move the rest of the stuff for Oregon out of the apartment tomorrow morning.  I'll probably put it in the trailer for now.  Most of it will end up in the truck.
