Sensor got bumped and knocked out of alignment?

Does the garage door start to close then reverse course?

No, it just makes a clunk type noise and doesn't even begin the motor.

I do think it's sensor related as 1 sensor is not even lighting up and the other one is flashing red.

Had jasmine tea (not herbal) with my soba noodle and seared salmon dinner and it gave me a fitful nights sleep.

Fitbit said I was only moderately ready for the day today.

Yeah well you were lucky. I once had Kashmiri chai and I spent the entire night singing to my friend on Whatsapp. And he had never heard me sing before. He was seriously worried :D

Dude!!

I had a machinist that knocked his finger on the spindle of the lathe. He dislocated his finger and I rushed him to the hospital. I thought that is what you did at first, then looked at the breaks in your finger. Did they have to put pins in or just cast it up?

I took one picture of him with his finger bent before they put it back in place. That picture would be nothing compared to your picture.

I didn't talk to the surgeon, but I have some new hardware. Finger /might/ also be shorter. Not sure. I'll probably take the dressing off next day or two to examine it.

AC unit won't turn on. It was replaced just late last year.

Filter was changed last month, drain pipe flushed, checked circuit breaker, check outside fan capacitor and all looked good. Thermostat was working.

Thankfully it is not 90+ today.
