Good morning
We've been up and down the stairs twice and down the road and back. He seems to be doubling in size each day.
Kirk mentioned Clifford.

Fine, except I don't care for the red.

I have done the type something and not hit post again.
It's raining here too now. It was nice out this morning.
We are trying the PT thing again today with Earnest. I am expecting a stomach ache anytime now.

Good Morning. :)
Last week we didn't see our neighbor and after a day we heard her dog barking so we broke the window and found that she had died about a day and a half before. Anyway I posted about that elsewhere but Sunday, her Brother N Law was cleaning out her house and got stuck in the elevator.

I had a small hydraulic elevator installed outside my condo unit here when I moved in because my wife has MS and can't do stairs. After I did mine, 3 neighbors followed and had them installed.

They are small and really are handicapped, residential elevators and only make 3 stops.

The elderly Lady next to that house heard the guy banging on the door and ran to get me. (They run to get me if they find a snapping turtle on the road, tree down, homeless person, missing person, broken shower, broken sprinkler, broken air conditioner, dead deer, clogged toilet near the pool, space craft, Boeing 747, Nancy Pelosi etc.) :oops:

So I go there and talk to the guy through the door and Sunday was a record heat day at about 97 degrees and these elevators are outside the building.
(His cell phone didn't work inside the car and we get lousy service here being on the sea on a hilltop)

I opened the elevator door above him and got on top of the car. Then I removed the light fixture so I could hand him a screwdriver and explained to him how to take apart the electronic door lock inside the door.

After about 40 minutes he was free.

The problem was with the locking mechanism. The stainless steel pin inside the lock that you push up in an emergency unscrewed itself and fell into the mechanism making it impossible to open the door. I am sure the fire department could open it but that would have cost $5,000.00 to repair.

So today I am installing outside my elevator a big gong with a rotating strobe light connected to the Panic button inside the car. I will also try to make the phone inside the cars work and I re designed that lock so it can't happen again. (In my elevator anyway and I will see if I have time to do the other two.)

Good morning. Got a college buddy of my husband’s coming today for a long weekend. It has become an annual visit now. He’s from small town Nebraska, so he’d rather visit us instead of us going there where there is literally nothing to do but watch the corn and soybeans grow. Last year we took him to a few breweries, this year is distilleries. I’m the designated driver.


The elderly Lady next to that house heard the guy banging on the door and ran to get me. (They run to get me if they find a snapping turtle on the road, tree down, homeless person, missing person, broken shower, broken sprinkler, broken air conditioner, dead deer, clogged toilet near the pool, space craft, Boeing 747, Nancy Pelosi etc.) :oops:
Paul, you’re such a good neighbor helping everyone with their many problems! Glad you were able to free the guy from the elevator.

MrsBugmaster, If I didn't free him he may have died and besides that, i didn't want to see the Fire Dept destroy the building as that would be the only way to get the guy out.

I just finished installing a big bell outside my elevator so now you can hear it from your house in Indiana. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

No matter how hard I try to hide, people find me.
A few weeks ago I see this older guy walking up to my house with one of those "grabber" things that allows you to reach food on high shelves. It was a 2 dollar piece of junk from the dollar store. Before he could get to me I said, just buy another one, I will give you the two bucks.

He once wanted me to give him some anchors to hang a coat hook he found in the dumpster. I asked him if he had a drill and he said, "he didn't know". If you don't know if you have a drill I guess you don't need the anchors.

I love "helping" people and I do it almost every day, but there is a limit. ;)

I really love it when people ask me to " Just show" them how to put brakes on their Car, replace their electrical service, raise the dormer on their house or install an artificial heart in their pet chowawa.

So today I go for my first PT on my back. A Supermodel sounding girl called me from there all excited to tell me:
We are SUPER excited that you decided to come to our PT place. I said you are sure you are "Super" excited and not just normal excited?

She said : No, we are Super Excited! ......I think business is slower than I expected.

I have about 7 vertibra that are bone on bone because the disks decided to croak. Thats what happens when you don't have a girly job for 50years. If you don't wear out all your parts by my age, you didn't work hard enough. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Good late morning again! At least I get here eventually. Doggie training went very well. We have a good start on dealing with our reactivity issues with the pup. Unfortunately, she had a rough start in life, but with a little work, she should be able to overcome her issues. :)
