10. Scheduled garage guy to get existing garage to work for few hundred (with new smart opener) not thousands. 

11.  Phone installed and working.

Buddhism Religion: Basic Beliefs and Practices

The basic doctrines of early Buddhism, which remain common to all Buddhism, include the  four noble truths : existence is suffering ( dukhka ); suffering has a cause, namely craving and attachment ( trishna ); there is a cessation of suffering, which is nirvana ; and there is a path to the cessation of suffering, the  eightfold path  of right views, right resolve, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. Buddhism characteristically describes reality in terms of process and relation rather than entity or substance.     Looks good.
