The rep. then got me on the line with a technical rep. (in the Philippines who spoke remarkable English and seemed sharp).

You should have asked him to post you some of those Rubie Ultras!

Stripped the motor gears on the automatic garage door opener. Cost CAN$339 to repair.

That's a little high IMO. Not that hard to fix.

Thanks for the video. It was very interesting and confirmed my thought that this repair was well above my pay grade. As my wife never ceases to remind me, she married handsome, not handy. Actually, the opener is more than 25 years old and more than the plastic sprocket had to be replaced; there were metal filings in the housing indicating worn bushings and other metal parts as well. The opener now operates a lot more smoothly and quietly than it has for the last year. Most important, however, my wife is happy, as this is the opener on her side of the garage.

Oh joy, oh bliss.

I assumed you knew the phrase that troubles always came along in threes!

Superstitious claptrap though.

I'm pleased you now have it fixed.

Paul.

Well aware of that phrase. Agree that’s superstitious claptrap, but I have my fingers crossed nonetheless.

So it was HER fault?!!!

Oh joy, oh bliss.

Now your side's gonna go!

Bend over and grab your toes and hold them while hopping around the front yard three times, this will ward off bad luck for 90 days.

You keep your wife in the garage?!
Sorry, couldn't resist...

There’s a thought.

Too late now, you fixed her escape thingy.

Ya, but she‘d probably want the other side for all her clothes and shoes.
