For the fourth time in the past three weeks, I had a liftgate issue which caused my day to be extended for several hours, and in this case I didn't even have the option to drive away and switch the malfunctioning trailer. It was the heavier day of the week (still not as bad as in winter) and I take care of the first two stops without issue. I get to the third and make one trip up and down with the gate. I return to get the rest, and the gate is totally unresponsive. Move the switch up and down and nothing happens. It was down which this occurred. Maintenance was called and a repair person was sent to get to my location, with an estimated time of arrival of one hour. It takes two hours for him to get there. After twenty minutes, he found and repaired the issue; it seemed that one of the actuators in the mechanism was somehow "stuck" and needed to be physically disconnected and reconnected to rectify the problem. Doing this required pulling away the tail light fixture and some other minor disassembly, which is not something I would have known to do (nor be expected to do, nor would have had anyone on the company maintenance line walk me through it). I purchased a 9/16" wrench when I went shopping at the hardware store for supplies for the elliptical machine, and it came in handy here as it helped eliminate the possibility of the fault being something I could fix. Net result - the day before, I was home at 930AM; this day, I was home at 130PM.
One positive thing that happened during the downtime from the malfunction is that I bumped into cooori.com and was able to get to some helpful learning within moments of signing up for the trial. I think I may pay for a year of it, particularly since it's something which I can easily keep in synchronous use on my phone and PC here.
Back to the subject of the elliptical machine, it does indeed work very nicely. The pedals glide smoothly and with barely any kind of noise from the machine. Unfortunately, one minor issue which I seem to have is that I have grown accustomed to having a PS2 controller bolted to my exercise machine so that I can play something as I use it, and the dimensions of this machine are the most narrow that I've had to work with. As a result of what space I have available to rig the controller in place, I have a difficult time keeping my left hand in a position where I can use it to control the D-pad without having the elliptical arm bump against it with every step cycle I make. It's possible to force my hand more upright to prevent it, but it's an unnatural position and I tend to quickly revert to what I'm used to it being. This might prove to be a problem, at least if I intend to actually make legitimate progress on the games that I play on there.
I didn't have a lot of time for songs this week, and they weren't quite as good as weeks past, but it still wasn't too painful. At least today's run did see a lot of nice miss reductions on most of the records. I did take the time to visit the arcade last Sunday morning and I had the machine to myself for more than three hours, which proved to be plenty of time for me to experience my usual bell curve of warm up, playing decently well, and deteriorating into garbage. I don't intend to return until I have made appreciable progress on my tax work, though considering how generally discouraging it is to have the results of playing this game properly in an arcade be so much worse than what I can accomplish here, it's difficult to feel motivated to return sooner than later.
