While I did change out the rollers, for the garage door, there were a few bolts missing. I asked someone to pick those up, if he had an opportunity.
As well, I hadn't oiled the wheels and stems, so I went looking for spray oil, silicon spray, or deep penetrating stuff. Which I ended up finding, both the latter. Which coveres the former most as well. Deep pentrating oil is still... just oil. So, I grabbed that and went out.
The problem? I got the door lock, for the garage door, working. However, the handle on the outside doesn't work. Or is locked and I don't have the key? So... I had to try to use the side door. But, the lock on that was really giving me fits. It didn't want to let go. I did give it a bit of a spray, but it didn't really help. Still, I got it.
Then in, I sprayed the garage door tracks, and the wheels, plus the bars going to the wheels from the elbow joints on the garage door. Wee! Now she spins. I had thought it was just here weight, the garage door. But, no, this really makes lifting it a breeze.
Then I went back to the deadbolt on the door. Locked that, unlocked. Still pretty tacky. So I hit it here, there, front, back, worked it while spraying, after it was sprayed. Gave it a bit more. Hoping it will improve. Still a bit sticky, if not as bad. Tells me it probably isn't just the lock mechanism. The bolt may be dragging, the door may be hanging, something else is causing physical friction or blocking. I've done what I will for that for today.
Though, while with the oils, I went around to all the doors. Several locks and other security devices have been tacky. I gave everything and it's uncle a spot of oil, some working around, and testing. Seems good, for now. It's as much as I will do for now. Happy with it.
Before all that, though, I got the dishes which had been soaking a shot. A lot of grease in it, so they will need another soapy soak and wash. Hopefully that will be enough. I'll find out in an hour or two. I'm not pushing today. I am taking it slow. Sounds like work, but it was all, mostly, rather easy. Even lifting the garage door, at this point, was easy... easier.
Not sure, if it arrives soon, whether I will get to the kitchen sink drains or not today. Though, if I do, I will probably only start out with one. Make sure it fits. If it does, and is watertight with the method I use... after several days... then get to the other one. If not, send them back. Hmm, sounds like everything just showed up. Goody.
Bits and pieces. Not a bad day, for a light day. I need lots of breaks. I tire very easily. But, my heart hasn't given me much fuss today. It isn't straining, hurting, or excessively tired. But I don't want it to get to that point either. A nice, level, easy, day. Oh... one load of laundry. Something I need to test, make sure it works for me. I'll bring in the deliveries, get the laundry going, then do some gaming.
