Hi Ray (@ray666) --
My front door has the same unusually muscular pneumatic tube as yours, white in color (as if that matters). My youngest son, frustrated with the bother of trying to adjust it one day when he was over, just removed the tube altogether. It isn't the most attractive fix, but it sure solved the problem! Now I just need to be extra vigilant on real windy days that the door doesn't blow itself off the hinges as I open it to retrieve the mail - lol.
Enjoy the week!
Barb

Hi, Barb (@bjk3)

There's a message in these pneumatic tubes for those of us balance issues, isn't there? We don't need to be pushed or pulled one way or t'other, not without our willing it. We've one direction in mind, one path to get us safely – one cautious step at a time – from here to there.

I'm reminded of what his physical therapist told Michael J. Fox: "Stop thinking about where you're going. Think only about where you're going to put your foot when you take your next step." (That's me paraphrasing Fox's PT.)

Merry Wednesday, Barb!
