This was the bane of my existence today. When the garage door closed this morning, the garage door made a strange thunk. I thought the garage door had came off the rail. John came home and noticed the broken spring. The space between the spring is not supposed to be there. The spring was the original spring from when the house was built. Not even 40 years old. The poor thing, the heat must have gotten to it. It could not possibly be metal fatigue.
I only found this out on the way to the grocery store. Needless to say my car did not make it out of the garage. So until the garage door is fixed, meaning a new spring is installed. My car is stuck in the garage. Hopefully they can fix it tomorrow. Until it is fixed I am stuck at home.
Hopefully this will give me a chance to tweak the numbers on the third piece of the new pattern. Then warp the loom. I have started spinning one, 2 ounce art batt a day to increase my exercise. Eventually I hope to increase my spinning time, on my Louet Victoria. Which is equivalent to riding a bike or using the sitting elliptical machine. I currently have three boxes of 2 ounce mini art batts. I am spinning them as singles because it is easier to weave with them. Then hopefully I will have more to donate to the children’s clothing bank that I support. I have a feeling that it is going to be a rough year for many families.
