Senior Moment

I was cleaning parts off of the 550 today and hung the air hose on the overhead door. It quit raining, so as I came back into the shed I hit the opener and forgot about the air hose. No damage except my pride.

A minor 'oopsie' ! ;^)

i wouldnt call it an oopps, just say you were taking the kinks out of the hose.

Since no one knows it happened but you, then your secrete is safe.

One of my less than stellar construction employees set a cup of coffee on one of those support rails. Then another employee hit the opener during the normal course of his duties. The coffee rode up 16 feet before it tipped off the rail. It almost hit me. The owner of the coffee was upset he lost his coffee. I told him it could be worse, especially if it would have fell on me.

(quoted from post at 19:22:38 03/18/20) One of my less than stellar construction employees set a cup of coffee on one of those support rails. Then another employee hit the opener during the normal course of his duties. The coffee rode up 16 feet before it tipped off the rail. It almost hit me. The owner of the coffee was upset he lost his coffee. I told him it could be worse, especially if it would have fell on me.

I set my phone on one of those OHD door rails to catch a bit of signal through the window in the door, the owner's son came by while it was in the back of the building, and hit the "open" button.

18 foot sidewalls, NOT pretty when the phone tipped off.

Backing out of my garage, wife hit the opener. door was open but not anymore. Not pretty, $1200 to fix it all.

That's why the photo sensors should be bumper height.
My late wife did the same thing 25 years ago.

Lucky she only bent the lower door panel.

I pulled the cell phone on the door rail stunt once too. My door is only 12 feet tall so the phone was not hurt when it fell off. After that incident I taped a makeshift cardboard phone holder to the door window to put the phone into. I didnt think the phone would handle a second drop.

Hey super99. Can I ask What brand of building do you have. I m suppose to be getting one from agri built Between 3-30 and 4-13. Time will tell with this mess. Richard

Read and follow the instructions. The single biggest piece of advice is buy the mounting track. You bolt it to flat concrete then the building bolts to it. I did not, just because they tried to up sell me,it cost me about $4,000.00 plus labor. 40X60X16

super99 · Mar 18, 2020

I think it's a US Steel building or US Building, can't remember right now, I'll look in the morning, too tired to think right now, Good night.

RBnWA · Mar 18, 2020

Thank you 504. I did order the track also. Mines 25x40. Old tractor storage. RB

Driving a simi-tractor with 30 foot box on it into Doan and Decker Ford In Terre Haute when the service manager dropped the door. I had no idea it was coming down but it sliced just after the cab, and in front of the trailer. The truck suffered minor scratches, the door was in the building with me about 10 feet. no user serviceable parts remained. Jim

It's ok. We still love you. My biggest problem is having my mind on the next project or something needing my attention and not paying attention to trivial things related to my current activities.......just like what you did, or.....now where did I put that wrench......or why did I walk to the back of the shop......where did it put that widget? I accidentally picked up on some head shrink comments somewhere and seems it's perfectly normal for "old pfarts".

ztrmowers · Mar 19, 2020

one of my daughters while in high school left for school got one door going out. couple weeks later got other one coming in. dad those doors go to slow. oh to be young again. still this day we joke about it, if you need your garage door adjusted I tell them call my daughter, she quick at it.

Blackhole49 · Mar 19, 2020

My pride has been getting damaged way more than it should lately. Aging ain't for the timid.

Geo-TH,In · Mar 19, 2020

The only thing I want to say about my last senior moment was it cost me a days work and $500 to repair. Sadly I should have been issed. Instead I'm used to senior moments.
