Treadmill trouble

I fixed my treadmill this week. I’m so damn happy and frustrated at the same time. First of all, it’s been at a strange, incline even at level 0, since I got it professionally fixed a year ago. When ever I was done using it, I would always prop it back up and pit it into storage until the next time I would use it, I did this so the kids didn’t play with it and also so it wouldn’t get in their play area. Anyway, It would never prop up correctly, it was always a few inches higher in the upright position and therefore the security latch never fit. The other day I propped it up like I usually did and WHAM, the shock bar on the bottom snapped like a twig. I was very upset. I ordered a new bar $50 with shipping, but something I could easily fix. While I was looking at the broken piece, I decided to see if I could fix the incline. I did something that never occurred to me. I set the incline up as far as it could go and then back down again. It went flat! Which meant that the incline was et too high to begin with. So when I was running at Incline 3 it was really a 6! And Level 0 was really 3, so therefore it could never rest in a secure position.
See this is what Blogs are all about mindless dribble. But it makes me feel a whole lot better.
