The last thing you bought?

Another selfish purchase: A Dragonfly Black USB DAC/Headphone amp. I hope it lives up to the online hype.

A foot long Cheese and Ham Subway and a Coke.

Went to see Rogue One again, this time in 2D, and IMO it was actually better than when I went to see it in IMAX last week.

A couple new doors for the garage I've been working on.
Had a pro install the big door. Could have done it myself, but it was good watching someone work who knows what they are doing.

That way when the springs break you'll be able to safely fix them! First time I did garage door springs was scary, but all went well, had the right tools.

That way when the springs break you'll be able to safely fix them! First time I did garage door springs was scary, but all went well, had the right tools.

I took the old door down. Nice door, but too short for the new opening.
I watched some installation videos first to see what was up with the springs. Ground the nubs off some 1/2" rebars so they would fit in the holes and unwound them. My only concern was not knowing how hard it would be to hold the rods when the securing bolts were loosened. it wasn't bad.
It turns out that the same installer had put the old door on this unit 5 years ago before I owned it.
Here's something you might be interested in. Now that the door is installed, I saw some videos about how burglars push in the middle top of the door and stick in a coat hanger to trip the release to break in garages. In reading the comments, some say that the proper way to attach the lift bracket is at a 45 degree angle to prevent the door from being pushed in. That makes sense. I can see in the picture that he didn't do that. I'll have to check the door to see if it pushes in. I think it will.

These things are different from both watches and clocks in regard to disassembly. The all important detent MUST be protected, as it is easily damaged and they cannot be repaired. The cheapest replacement is $850 and must be custom made. This one needed the staff re-pivoted and a new locking jewel. It now keeps time at a losing rate of .5 seconds daily.

These handmade mini envelopes:

Dead Rising 4 on XBone. It was delivered yesterday, but I've been obsessively playing Kirby Triple Deluxe on 3DS so I haven't even installed it yet.
