My Friday dinner plans blew up, and I ended up fixing my mom's squeaky door instead
My sister bailed on our 7pm dinner at Rosa's in Riverside, so I had a whole free evening and nothing to do with it. My mom had been bugging me for 3 months about the back door that squeaked so loud it woke her up at 5am. I grabbed a $4 can of white lithium grease from the hardware store, popped the top hinge pin, wiped off 20 years of gunk, and sprayed it. Took 10 minutes total, and the door is dead quiet now. Funny how a canceled plan turned into the most useful thing I did all week. What random chore have you knocked out when your night suddenly opened up?
