Re: sanding off chip markings?

Hello Michael,


Sure does. But, I learned the hard way that the garage door opener
gears have to be lubed annually, otherwise the (plastic) gears will
grind themselves to dust...

Let others learn from my error!

Gear kit look something like this:

Is this the gear inside the motor? The gear that rides on the long screw of ours is metal but I haven't looked inside the Genie box. Except once when I had to repair an electronics board in there. I was surprised that it was quite modular, could take it inside and didn't have to repair it while on the ladder.


Others could not use their phones because they had managed to eradicate the
last old non-cordless set.

And the instructions warn you about that too ! RTFM

What, the cell phone batteries were dead?


They called us from their cell phone but the problem was that they were waiting for an important call on their land line number. Plus you don't know how long the cell tower will keep up when everything around it has been dark for a few hours.


Alas, my brownout was during the night... but I'll keep this in mind
for the next daytime brownout.


We always keep a stack of D cells and a fluorescent camping light at hand. Although, during most power outages we preferred candles. The only thing my wife complained about was no quick coffee in the morning. Firing up the Weber takes 1/2 hour. So, I went to the garage, bent some heavy steel wire, placed the percolator on top and a rechaud underneath. The little burners for the fondue pot, also often used by caterers to keep food warm. And whoopdidoo, she had her morning coffee.
