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…
