Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Just Walkin#39; in the Rain
That's the adobe soil around here. It would get so bad I would have to go in and out by the garage door instead of the front door. However last winter I put an adjustable door hinge on the front door which has helped a lot and I think I'll order one for the door between the kitchen and garage. http://www.adjustabledoorhinge.com/ Some of the hardware stores around here have them too.

Then we get a few drops of rain, and it starts closing a lot more easily. Very weird.

I would expect these to be quite popular around here but if you do a search on the subject San Antonio is a place that has a lot of problems with adobe soil and doors out-of-kilter. I ran into a door installer once at Home Depot who told me the problem was so bad on his house that he had to adjust the doors 4 times a year. A cement foundation supposedly helps and of course this house doesn't have one. I also drilled two sets of holes for the front screen door latch bar bolts as it needs to be raised and lowered for the latch to work. Really a pain.

No, it was just one of the many little antique shops downtown that buy more than just antiques. Amoeba isn't over here but Concord does have Rasputin's. Either of those places might have actually checked the collector's value of the DVD. I've told the guys at this downtown store that they might actually get some collectible DVDs but they just don't want to bother looking them up. Most of there stock is probably only worth 99 cents a disc. On 09/21/2013 02:10 PM, jr_...@yahoo.com wrote: Did you buy at Amoeba record store? They have a branch store here in SF and Berkeley, CA. You can get a lot of jazz and classical music CDs there for a real cheap price. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com wrote: After quite a stretch of dry weather we finally got some rain here in the SF Bay Area. Now maybe my doors will work better. When I drove off to the waterfront park there were just a few light rain drops on my windshield. When I got the park I put on my jacket, started to walk away but looking down the strait decided to grab my umbrella. Glad I did as it's been a deluge ever since. On the way back I stopped at Starbucks. The crew there doesn't know how to put up the umbrellas and tables so they don't get wet if people want to sit out side (yes, even in rainy weather). So I sat inside. Before I left downtown I went over to one of our many antique stores. This store buys a lot of used DVD and CDs and they have them out front. The other day when I dropped by I noticed a copy of The Short Films of David Lynch. I went back today and bought it for $2.50. Online the title is sold used for $50 on the low end and $400 on the high end.
