Yesterday morning I headed north to one of my client's house to take care of a few tasks for him. The first was to replace the threshold on his garage door which at first I was unsure how long it would take but to my surprise it was a super fast swap. I only had to pull the right side door stop trim piece loose and the old one popped right out and after sweeping dirt away the new one slid right in. It actually surprised me how easy it was.

Then Mike gave me a 2x4 which I cut down to size then fixed the gate boards to it. I had reworked the gate once but this time the new cross pieces made it much more solid. I got it mounted and had to pound a 2x4 piece in against the hinge post to try and tilt it back a bit to better line the cross pieces with the fence pieces. The latch catches correctly and it swings nice and easy.

I then worked with him to install 3 Blink cameras on his garage and a new doorbell camera. He had gotten them all synced with the app while I was working so we were able to see the view through each before I mounted them.

I've seen the 4 Runner sitting in the exact same spot since my first time to his house and this time we got to talking about how he is wanting to work on selling it. I expressed my interest as I need wheels for winter and a vehicle that is not eating oil and water constantly. It was his Father In Law's who babied the motor. The thing is a 1986 4x4 with a 22 motor in it. The inside is not the greatest condition but that is irrelevant to me. He has no idea what it would be worth but after getting home and looking around I have an idea of an offer. I will hit him up and see about going back up to check it out more, maybe this weekend. It has 176k miles but for a 40 year old Toyota that is really not bad. My old 94 Toyota truck in the yard has good tires that would swap over and be great for winter driving.

In the afternoon I picked R up after STEM then futzed around the property for a while before @stryeyz got home then we went to our couple's session which was good. Then we went to Mango Tree for some super delicious Indian food. The mango poutine was delicious.

Then my mango chicken salad was equally tasty. The buttered naan is badass.

I woke this morning to a new job lead sent at 4:15am, replied by 5:10 and picked it up for Monday morning to caulk the bathtub/floor junction in a rental house on 5 Mile. I will get the boys to school in a while then mid day I have a job back downtown at the rental I was at last week to take care of the deck TREX boards that have loosened, fill a hole in the kitchen wall with steel wool and foam over it, and install a latch on old French doors upstairs to lock the one side closed.
