Those 3 inch screws need an extra long drill bit for the pilot holes. Luckily I had already procured a long one in the correct size.
I worked on one door today. I'd already replaced its bottom strike plate in the past, so all I had to do for that one was to drill the holes out some more, and screw in the 4 new bigger longer screws. No problem there.
But the deadbolt plate... I chiseled out the wood for the new bigger strike plate. Then I noticed there was another odd metal plate between 2 pieces of wood of the jamb, which was in the way of my screws. This odd plate had a gap in the center; the old screws went through the gap but the new screw holes were in other positions, and wouldn't be in the gap. I managed to drill 3 holes through that odd plate for 3 of the new screws. But I couldn't get through it for the 4th screw hole. I even broke a drill bit (thankfully not the special long one), and the broken piece is still stuck down in the hole. [Finally got it out using a tweezer to hold & twist it.] So I only used the other 3 screws for that one.

This song seems to be over 6 years old and was apparently popular in clubs and with line dancers. But I don't remember hearing it before today.

I heard it on the radio, and it sounded to me like a guy's voice was singing it. With the lyrics, that surprised me, that such a gay-themed song would be played on the radio here. So I looked it up the song, and found out that the singer is a woman, Nellie Tiger Travis. Oh well, it's still a very catchy, fun song.
