Swapping the Eye's position would work.

You can also reposition those PE's at different heights as long as you have sufficient cable slack if you didn't want to unwire anything.

It's just a sender and receiver. If it's currently sitting at one height, just move both eyes either up or down to get avoid the sun as long as it's not in a spot that a car or person won't trip it when needed.

Now you might have to deal with the sun hitting it at a different time of day...depending upon how the garage faces the sun.

Brilliant! I may try this in the meantime.

Should be good on swapping sides. The sun never sees the other side of the garage door with how the house sits. Kinda sucks though, one side of my yard is thick and lush with vegetation, the other side....not so much.

It is incredible how much quieter the belt drives are! Enjoy!

Well when food stamps taking care of the ribeyes...
That infuriates me. As soon as boiled crawfish becomes available here the people with food stamps are in line & they don't care about the price/pd. They also get their fresh jumbo shrimp while there. Here I am not even buying the crawfish because they're way overpriced. I'm not saying they should live on bread & rice but there should be restrictions.

Agreed 100%! Also feel that if my employment requires a drug screen, their unemployment benefits should require one as well.

Of course I didn't get the full amount, but I'll be using it on my new toy and some garage organization stuff.

Recently picked up an '06 Miata. I/H/E, custom tune...although I'm going to have to have it retuned for 91 since 93 isn't common in OKC. Not to mention the fact that its 70 cents per gallon more than 91.

MCS Remote double-adjustables, IMSA MX-5 cup 2 piece rotors, hardtop, etc.

Is this post a trick?

Of course I don't get a stimulus check.

This is the internet. Stimulus check is for poor people.

Individuals making up to $99,000/year get something. Couples making up to $198,000/year get something.

The median annual income of a luxury car owner is $99,000/year. Assuming that applies to BMW owners, I would estimate that roughly 1/2 of BMW owners got stimulus checks.

I have always felt that should be part of the program.

I get "randomly" picked all the time at work for our drug screenings. It's crazy....but I have been flagged in the system 4 of the last 5 times.

Nurse thinks it's funny and is always joking with me.

Crazy thing is that I haven't ever tried Marijuana in my life. I have worked since I was old enough to hold a job, and all of them tested randomly.

I had friends that did it, but I just never had an interest for it.

When I retire, I will probably try it and find out that I missed out on the greatest thing ever!

That's a low median income, especially for one owning a luxury car.

It must be your looks.

In NYC I don't know of many, or any at all who get tested; maybe my cop friend?
I worked in an ER with drugs up to Fentanyl in an unlocked cabinet (we had to sign them out properly!), and I had no drug test when hired, or ever.
