finally scraped the chipped areas on the back door…

then I pulled out the paint, stirred it for quite a while and painted the bare portions… it was very interesting to see how blue it looked before being stirred up… that probably explains why so many of my purple things turn blue after sitting in the sunlight, lol…

it has been drying and is looking good… I think I will give it one more coat…

wondering…

this morning I had to drive myself to work… missed my carpool buddy…

was surprised when I opened the back door to find a bag hanging from the handle… then I remembered that my daughter had said a friend was going to drop something off… it had completely slipped my mind… particularly as I am usually coming in the front door now…

my technique when I drive out of the garage is to stop and make sure the overhead door closes all the way before I drive away… that way, when I get down the street, or halfway to the office, I won’t freak out wondering if I closed it…

while I waited I enjoyed looking at the Joy hanging in the car… for whatever reason it was rocking and rolling a bit… brought a smile to my face…

good start to a foggy morning…

opener…

in recent weeks I’ve been entering and exiting the garage via the big rolling door…

over the last couple of years midway through the winter something shifts in the garage and the door I usually use won’t stay closed… so, currently, I have a stool up against the door to keep it from opening … which means that I need to come and go through the big door…

rather than have to open and close the gate into the backyard which has an odd handle, I’ve been using the front door of the house to come and go…

so,!as I walk towards the house and get inside, I have been reciting back door, back door, back door so that I remember to go and shut the door with the opener located there… otherwise I forget and hours later realize that the big door to the garage is still open…

so, tonight, it occurs to me that I could bring in the remote from the car and use it to close (and open) the door from the front of the house and not worry that I might forget to close it, lol…

duh…

I have put the remote in my jacket pocket so I don’t forget it in the morning, lol…
