I like to leave room in front of the car, but to know I have pulled in far enough not to get hit by the door.  might have to try it out.

hehe.  I had a nerf ball hung from the ceiling at the last place.  Always drove me nuts when people standing in the garage would play with it.  that is why I am thinking the laser might be the cool new version of the same concept.

Winston has balls hanging from his cieling, too.  I can't stand 'em, but he can't seem to keep his hands off 'em.  Why doesn't that surprise me?

when I feel resistance I stop.

I noticed Winston's balls too.
They were getting in the way so I had to tie them up.

Ya know I heard the same thing said about Q-tips and and cleaning ears.  Funny thing though is I do not see what they are talking about, resistance...what...resistance!  :roll:


No comment on Winstons hanging balls, reminds me of dried fruit or beef jerky.  8O   Personally, I like that laser idea.

Well since lots of people have seen my balls in the garage and many have played with them, you really can't argue with the results.  I usually stop once I get to the balls, so I don't think I will need the laser, thank you.

Go balls deep. Any futher and you'd hit the back wall of the garage or not have any room to work.
