-- 12:20a  Bed 
--   8:04a  Up
--   8:55a  Leaving to bike before getting breakfast @McD
--   9:45a  Inside after biking 2&2;  Breakfast @home: apple raisin oatmeal + sausage biscuit
Heard a loud crash sound.  Tried to go outside through my garage but the door would only partially open. It looks like the spring above the door has broken
--   9:59a - 10:17a  Tony called;  He doesn't repair garage door springs;  He's watching "This Week".
-- 10:35a  Called the same repair company I've used before.(about 2 yrs ago)
They called back and said they'd be here within 2 hrs.
-- 10:57a  Leaving to bike
-- 11:25a  Inside'  Total ride: 5 mi;  "Transplant" ...
-- 12:21p  Repairman expected in about 20 mins.
-- 12:45p  Repairman arrived, and he confirmed my diagnosis.  It should take 45 mins or so.
--   1:30p  Repair is finished;  The guy start talking to me about lubricating the hinges.
He didn't do it.  It would be $80 -- which seems steep;  He got very talkative.  He's from
Israel, but originally from Russia (which was my guess).
--   2:00p  He finally left and I went for a 2 mi bike ride and talked to neighbors.
--   2:30p  Left for bike ride.
--   3:30p  Home;  Total ride: 5 mi;  Found that garage door keypad doesn't work.
Could the battery be out, coincidentally?  Or do I have to find the Learn button.
The location is not obvious. The remote in the car still works.
--   3:55p  Leaving for dinner @Naf Naf: falafel pita
First, changed battery on keypad.  It still didn't work..
--   5:07p  Home after biking 2 mi;  Skim Ch7 news
--   6:09p  Resume "Transplant" ...
--   6:30p - 6:44p  Tony called on way to Indian restaurant, but I told him I already ate.
--   7:30p  Now that it's dark, so I can see LEDs, I went outside to try to program keypad.
I discovered that the NEW battery was dead.  The old battery was still good.  I was able
to get the keypad to work!
--   8:05p  "60 Minutes";  Started :19 mins late because of football

>>>   9:26p  "Next" (Metacritic: 56, 40-83, #13)
Former tech CEO works with a Homeland Cybersecurity Agent to stop a AI that is killing people.
~~  Favorable revies say, "w whole lot of fun", but a critic said, "plot points that only hold together if you don’t think about them too much."
One said it's like "Little Shop of Horrors" but with an AI instead of a plant.  Another said it loses steam by the 3rd or 4th episode.
~~  There is a character named <b>Jennie</b>,  
~~  Main character is Mr LeBlanc.  On "Transplant", a main character is Dr Leblanc.
~~  It's good, so I'll keep watching, but I'm afraid it will go downhill.

-- 10:29p  I forgot to check if "Jimmy Kimmel" was being recorded (after football).
It wasn't.  And NONE of my 10 tuners were on ABC.
-- 10:54p  Skim Ch7 news
