I went to Ace Hardware today to replace a spring on the gate latch assembly today on one of my gates. They didn't have the tried and true spring loaded latch so I had to use some new fangled thing I had never seen before. So, when I got it home it was designed completely different than the old one and it took me some time to realize that I had to drill out the hole for the pull wire and spring to work on this new type of one I had never seen before. It has a big plastic knob on the end you pull from the driveway to open the gate. So, after I got my battery powered screwdriver and drill I loaded a drill bit into it and augured out the hole a little larger so the new type of spring loaded pull wire could be installed. Luckily, I got it all down before it got too dark to see. I also was trying to boil Artichokes for my wife and I because she hadn't returned from a doctor's appointment yet. I also took our Corgi to the Beach but it was already getting cold and going barefoot though I did it was colder than normal too. Then my Corgi decided to throw her leash but a nice lady put the collar on for me which was good for my dog and me getting her back into the car from the beach.
So, all in all, this was a successful day of doctor's appointments for my wife and installing a new gate spring and pull wire and walking our dog on the beach in while it got colder towards sunset.
