Patched with wood filler the small gap found yesterday on the garage door and did some additional cleaning of the garage door with dish soap solution. Breakfast: one TJ's uncured ham and swiss cheese pocket, hot water. Recharge Medical work: new photo for Phil: website update, partner website update, new badge. Updates for the website. After listing a few items for sale on Nextdoor then exchanging a few messages with interested buyers I realized that they have a serious problem with scammers and a serious problem with their backend messaging system. The first two messages I received were people who didn't live in the state I live. The third message I received said a friend wanted the item I was selling and could I please call her? (This is a ploy to get my phone number which is not needed if you are a legitimate buyer and the messaging system inside Nextdoor works.) Messages I would delete on the website would fail to show as deleted on the iPhone app. Conversations I would see on one we missing pieces on the other. Or I would briefly see a reply in a preview but then when I opened the message that full reply did not appear. I decided I could no longer trust Nextdoor to reliably show me messages on either platform or trust that potential buyers were legitimate. I deleted my listings and the Nextdoor app from my phone, changed my notification preferences in the website, and plan to use it again only if needed (though I can't imagine why). Spent 30 minutes on the phone with an agency trying to get an address updated because their website doesn't enable me to do so and because months ago I sent in a paper form requesting the address change and never heard back. Filed a claim under home warranty for a failed angle stop. Touch-up painted the wood filler patch from this morning. Nap. Patrick and I walked to Copper for trivia night food and drinks. Our team name was Copper? I hardly knew 'er! We chose American Military History as our joker/bonus round for earning double points. We got off to a slow start because I didn't know when round 1 had started. We were answering #5 of 10 questions when we had a 2-minute warning. The picture round was currency symbols. We did really well in American Military History. Ultimately we came in third at 37 points. Above us were The Devil and the Details at 39 points ($45 gift certificate) and Dolly Delivers with 38 points ($30 gift certificate). The winner for both 2nd-to-last place and best name was Edgar Allan's Hoes. We had fun despite not winning any prizes. We arrived at 6:30 p.m. to secure seats, the game began at 7:00 p.m., and we were done by 8:11 p.m. Everyone loved that it was significantly faster and easier than trivia at other nearby bars. Patrick went to bed. I did some contractor review and minor web work for Recharge Medical and for Corinna before going to bed.
