The Wild Adventures of the Bayless Barnstormers

On Sunday we went geo-caching. We were surprised to find that there aren't any geocaches in Umstead park, but we went to a local lake instead and found 2 caches! Very exciting. We may be doing more of this, now that we have the hang of it.
Then last night, as we got in Dale's car to go to church, the garage door didn't open all the way. It didn't even open far enough for his car to get out. We struggled with it for a few minutes, until we saw that the primary board holding the chain rail was pulling away from the wall. That's when we freaked out and called our garage door repair guy. Then we were faced with a dilemma. Dale's car would be in the way of the door repairman. Opening the door manually is almost impossible, not to mention, probably dangerous, with a main support pulling out of the wall. But I had the bright idea that maybe, with Dale's amazing turning radius, we could at least angle his car away from the door opener. So I pulled out of the garage and Dale proceeded to execute a 25 zillion point turn, finally actually completely driving his car out of MY garage door! What a feat!
We got the door fixed today, at least for now...
