She can glatt to do it.

Go big or go home!

That's gonna look nice!

not a swinger.

a slider.

tonight I realized put the hanger brackets too far apart to leave any reasonable cushion for the sliding range of the .... pulleys?  in the hanging rail.  So I moved them each inward about five inches.  That problem solved.  

Now the ledger board upon which the rail holding brackets hung.  That turned out to be mounted a few inches too low.  Not that I can shorten the door, the doorWAY is fixed.  Annyhow.  I moved the ledger board up a few inches and have repositioned it.  REsecuring it to the house... we'll finish that later.

some pics.  OK.

old location of bracket signified by three vacant holes.

New location of bracket indicated by the fuckin bracket. It's inboard by about five inches, same for the one at the other end of the door.





I don't have before and after pics of the repositioning of the ledger board.  Here's the before..lmagine it rotated 180 deg around the shortest axis, and moved upward a couple inches.... then re lagbolted to the studs.  then go to bed.  like me.



good night
 

It looks beautiful, and I can see your pictures no problem.

Nice.

Good night friends.

I've unloaded some my my cellar-psychic burden.

My mood is improved.

 

Went to a birthday party yesterday over in Jersey. I know the birthday boy and three other people there. The rest I knew who a few were by relationships to the celebrant, but most it was smile, nod, and keep walking.
Spend a lot of time and energy spoiling the puppy, Orville.
One guy comes up to me and says today is about as hot as the day we met. I'm clueless. Then he says, yeah it was August something or other 27 years ago. Now I'm really lost, no idea what, where, who, only when. I'm pretty sure he knew he had me from my expression, I pictured big question marks appearing like balloons and popping over my head like a cartoon.
Finally he said, you were our wedding photographer. Aha, now I know. I still don't remember him but certainly remember his hot redhead bride, she's the sister of the friend who asked me to do it in the first place.
Turns out he is a cop and has been with a half dozen different departments. He's also a couple years short of retirement from the Air Force Reserve. He showed me a video on his phone of him running the refueling boom to air-to-air gas up a fighter jet.

Doctor said I don't have a rotator cuff tear or bone spurs.

It's a frozen shoulder. I can barely even lift the arm enough to put on deodorant.

It could always be worse.

I just got a goodbye email from a guy who hosted blood drives I used to attend.  I started running my own drives, so don't go to his anymore. Real nice guy.  I always liked chatting with him when I was checking in to donate.  He's having a celebration of his life party in two weeks because he exhausted all cancer treatment options and is now a week into hospice.

That's not something I would want for myself in his shoes. Being the center of attention like that.  But I Iike the idea.  If I knew him better, and wasn't planning a trip to Vermont then, I'd go.

It's been three months since an improved mood was reported.
What I like this time of year, as leaves are finishing their dropping, is the appearance of all the birds' nests that they hid since spring.
I found some yesterday that apparently were from two or three different species.
None of them had been given away by comings and  goings and all were high enough to protect them from my current hyper-athletic cat.
