That's what the apes want you to think.

Okay, I ended up taking down the old storm door and refitting it with new screen. I had the proper wheel tool, and thought I had the proper spline (gasket that you roll in to secure the screen), but no, had to buy a thicker one for proper fit. This is an old full-screen storm door, without removable screen panels. You just permanently roll in a new screen and you're stuck with it for life. Also, if your hands are full when exiting through the door, you have to elbow it open against the screen. Very poor design, and I sort of regret resurrecting it.
Oh, and the hinge screw holes were totally worn out, so I bought 3/8 dowels, cut them to 1 1/2 " length, drilled out the hinge holes with a 3/8 " drill, then pounded in the dowels with lots of glue. Then I drilled pilot holes in the dowels, propped the storm door precariously on old terra cotta vases (breaking one), climbed a ladder, and after a whole lot of effort got the hinges aligned and rescrewed them in.
All is sort of well with the storm door. It doesn't quite shut like I'd want, and I really ought to remove it and chisel the hinge spots a bit, but to hell with it. The storm comes tomorrow and I'm sort of set. The most distressing little problem is that when I look outside through the screen, I see lizard people.

Next time just put some glue and some toothpicks in the old holes. Works great.

Now the pneumatic closer mechanism is giving problems. It keeps slipping loose. Not the cottered end. The end on the door.

Burn to the ground. Start over.

Are computers “appliances”? If so, does anyone have a recommendation for data recovery on a work laptop that went all “brick-like” last Thursday?

Major bummer
We need a new D00M thread - Feckin' 'puters

Come to think of it, this would make a good title for a new thread too...

Yelp has found me someone, so on Thursday I ride to Bayview to meet with Eastern Europeans.

Good thinking. If the Yeti is lost, D00M shall avenge!

Fence off, obviously.
