What are you doing right now?

Figuring out why the garage door won't close. I go to close it and it only goes down a couple inches, then goes back up. If the safety sensor system is malfunctioning, the door will go up, but not go back down. I looked at the sensor lights and one was blinking, so I ensured nothing was blocking the light beam since I was moving stuff near the door. All clear, so thought maybe a sensor went out. Looked closer at both sensors, and one looks white where the beam comes out of the hole in the housing. Looked like white cotton, but realized it was actually a spider web/nest. I poked at it and broke the outside layer open, and saw the spider moving around. Got the shop vacuum out and sucked that little sucker right out of there ... works fine now. :D

I was going to ask if you knew any engineers who could help you... 😁
 
I just got back from the dealership
My salesperson was an older lady and we had a bunch in common...
I drove several cars as it was a multiplex dealership.

We talked about Florida, cars, Robinhood, taxes, and on and on...
The last car I drove I had her drive and we went over bad roads and even to the interstate to check on wind and road noise, ride harshness etc.
No hard sell, no you got to take it now or meet my manager etc...none of that nonsense...
