OK, since this thread is about nothing, two days ago I pressed the "up" button on the garage door opener. The door started to move, got about halfway up, paused for a moment, then the opener ripped the panel apart that it was bolted to and continued to open all the way. I'm standing there with a WTF ... mouth hanging open and a "thought bubble" over my head full of these things --> $$$$$$$$$! Naturally it was after hours so I had to call the repair place the next morning. The nice lady on the phone told me that someone would call before they came over between 1 and 4 that afternoon, so when the dude called right at 1 and told me he was a few blocks away I was somewhat surprised. He was already in my driveway by the time I got my car moved out of the garage for him. I was mentally prepared to have to buy a new door and maybe opener too, but this kid looked it over, went out to his truck and returned with his tools and... 30 minutes later I hand him a check for one hundred and one dollars and the old door is repaired! I almost asked him if he had a magic wand in his tool kit. He could really have taken advantage of the situation, but no. Repaired for a pittance and left. Whatta guy!
I had an opener stop working at my last house. Spent some time researching online and watched a couple of Youtube videos, ordered a parts kit from Amazon for around $20, and got it fixed myself.
I just had to replace the internal gears, I didn't have panels torn apart or anything like that.
Here is what I did on my 4th of July. The red F100 is my father in law's truck. We take it to the shows around and show it. He is wheelchair bound and cant drive it. He was unable to make it to the show due to the traffic that was around, his wife couldn't find a parking spot to get the wheelchair out of the van. We told her to stop in the street and unload him, then go find a spot somewhere to park, but she gave up and drove home.
We had a great time. Lot's of really nice cars and trucks there. The pickup won a sponsors trophy, which is all they were giving out. They apparently do not to class style trophies at this event. It is the first time we have gone to this show. We have 8 awards for the truck so far and we have only be showing it for about two and a half years.
@WalterG Maaannn, that truck is gorgeous! Your FIL should be very proud of it, sorry to hear he couldn't get in to the show. I'd love to see more pics of it, and what all has been done to it.
Here are some other photos of the truck that we have taken. It has been a 3 year project for me to get it assembled and about 35 years in the making for Don (my FIL).
Started out like this back when he was diagnosed with Parkinsons and my wife and I decided to get this done so he could enjoy it some before he couldn't any longer.
And this was about a month ago at a show.

I'm sure somewhere in the archives this thread was started but I did check, and I didn't find anything, I know that "Flex" started Friday night, and Ddaddy started Saturday and I'm going to get the ball rolling for Sunday.

I've been a Windows Mobile user since 2003. I loved the idea of having a phone that can make calls, take pictures, edit spreadsheets, play games, play music and videos, browse the web, etc.
Over the years, I've upgraded a few times. In fact this past weekend I got my new HTC Touch Diamond 2...
Hi guys,
First time posting to the forum but i used it often to help me install some jbl gx series speakers on my doors. Very helpful!
I went ahead and purchased two more 6x9 jbl gx9638 speakers (2.3 ohms) and an infinity kappa 800w 8 inch sub to install in the rear deck. I peaked and saw...
Hello guys, I'm new to the forums and just got my first Charger. Absolutely love it! However there's a couple things I'm still trying to nip in the butt.
So at all times my Traction (skid light) control is off, ESP/BAS light is on (meaning it's deactivated) as well as my ABS light is on. While...
I was cruising through the city and found a Chrysler 300 with a 392 badge. The 300 was a newer 2015? Chrysler 300s and they stuck the 392 badge on the side.
What's the most ridiculous up-badging you've seen?
