* if your DHCP address (in ipconfig command) starts with 169.254, issue with DHCP,
otherwise, if starts with 168.192, then do the next steps (this was my issue, so I didn't flesh out the DHCP issue)

.5 Bosch Dishwasher:
.5 Bosch Dishwasher:
A small pool of water (about a cup or resting below the micro-filter mesh) in the bottom drain sump of a Bosch dishwasher is completely normal. It is generally agreed that this standing water acts as a seal to block sewer gases and keeps pump seals moist. However, if water is standing high above the filter or flooding the bottom of the tub, your dishwasher is not draining properly.
Check the Filter: Twist and pull out the filter assembly at the bottom of the tub. Wash it under warm water and scrub away trapped grease or food bits. [1, 2]
Inspect the Pump Cover: Remove the small plastic pump cover inside the sump (sometimes secured by a Torx screw) and check the impeller blades for broken glass, bone fragments, or pits of food. [1]
Clear the Drain Hose: Look under your sink to make sure the drain hose isn't kinked or pinched behind the unit. [1]

3. GARAGE DOOR.... LIFTMASTER
does not lift up all the way. It seems to have the problem, only, when it's colder outside (winter temps)
* It could be a few issues if you want to check for them...
Resistance- open door by hand, pay attention to 'stuck area'. If still doesn't open, manually, increase the manual force adjustments.
* Increase the UP FORCE, gradually, AFTER you lubricate, and clean the wheels. (do it while closed) For lubrication, use LITHIUM GREASE. See above video, starting at 3:13 for where to lubricate. Clean up any residue in the transport area... there shouldn't be any there. only on the moving equipment.
* Check for autoreversal by putting an object in the way of it closing---- it should spring back up to fully open.
You might need to identify the garage door opener as well, to act on the below:
* Clean the sensor lenses..... find them in the manual
* Faulty travel limit switch
* Low Battery
* Loose wires (@ motor head or sensor wires)
* Inspect door tracks or wires

1: Use stiff brush or broom to remove loose debris from pits, hose them out, and allow to dry.
1a: for deeper pits, use chisel/ hammer to create angled edges, exposing old concrete, creating a better bonding surface.
1b: small pits: use caulking gun with premixed concrete epoxy.
1c: larger areas: mix a fast setting cementpatcher or polymer mod resurfacer with water to a pancake batter consistency. Apply with squeegee.
summary: smooth with a trowel, making patch flush with existing surface, then a rubber float or sponge for finer finish.
