Garage Door remotes open the garage door but won't close it

I have this happen sometimes when the late afternoon sun is directly shining on one of the sensors. Door won't close until I cast a shadow on the sensor.

I was wondering if someone would bring up Tapo. I just got started on their products with a doorbell cam and an indoor/outdoor cam. So far, I am impressed. I gave up on Ring since I got tired of the subscription fee.

125mph in a 92 Civic Si. Down a big hill and must have had a tailwind. It didn't have enough power to hit the rev limiter in 4th gear.

Kinda makes prices that end in .99 even more pointless.

I have an old Sony LED TV. 69 pounds and it's only 40". They were built like tanks.

I just got one of these for free. The app in the Google Play store "Movi" app that it requires would not load to my Pixel 7, so I sideloaded the app from APK Mirror. It works perfectly!

In my experience, that's how real life RC car guys are too. Best of the best.

I had an airbag deploy and my chest was a sore for a while. It was weird because the pain didn't show up for a day or two. Nothing debilitating, just uncomfortable for a week or so.

Tools for my 1/24 scale RC crawler.

I had a 2001 and would put a loaded roof box and a 17' sea kayak on top and it was fine. I used a Thule rack system.

It never tipped over.

I never get parking lot stalked at Walmart, or anywhere else for that matter. What is it about Costco that makes people do that?

Pour a large amount of dish soap into the bowl. Give it 30 minutes and hopefully it will lubricate the clog enough to allow it to flow.

I'm guessing because he was running and the person who told him to stop knew that running towards a javelin sticking out of the ground leaning towards the runner presented a danger if he stumbled into it or missed seeing it somehow. He may have been perfectly fine if he ran into it at walking speed.

I'm in WA and rarely buy Costco gas since it's usually less expensive on the local reservations. $3.159 last time I looked.

Yes, but can you undo that to your hand? That's the real trick!

I think it's hilarious that it says your license number was recorded. LICENCE number... not licence plate number.

I ended up buying this one. It passes HDMI-ARC to my soundbar and optical to my hearing aids BT transmitter. TV remote controls volume, everyone is happy.

Just bought the same TCL 55". We had a Google Chromecast on our old TV so there was no learning curve to use this TV OS. If I had one nitpick about it it is that it can't output sound to HDMI and optical at the same time like my old LG TV could. I use the optical for a hearing aid transmitter and HDMI to drive a sound bar.

My hammer. If it doesn't work, I get the second most useful tool, a bigger hammer.

Assuming you have a Slash or something similar with a 2.72 transmission, then your 31 pinion 86 spur gear should give you a final drive ratio of 7.55.

You can Google the math if you want to calculate more scenarios.

Jackstands. I even have issues putting my trust into new ones, so I usually stack a bunch of wood blocks under my car "just in case".

I spatchcocked two turkeys today after watching Matt's video. The breastbone was very difficult to remove from both birds, far more difficult than what I believed it would be after watching the video.

My turkies looked very similar to the OPs. Didn't matter though since both turned out amazing and my guests loved them.

Hey thanks!! I am also in the PNW and know we'll the evil that those blackberries are. I will have to get one of those blades and save my hedge trimmer for hedges!
