It's really cold again...so...

..the Garage door opener broke...

...the property committee chair told us that it's about 10 years old - gee - I thought they'd last longer than that...

...anywhooo...I tied an old belt to the emergency handle (so Scout could pull the door open for me) and we made do for a couple of days...

...then we went to the local Sears store (I'm so glad that such a thing still exists in our small town) and bought a brand new opener...

We put it all together in the warm basement and then only spent about an hour in the frigid garage hanging it up and adjusting it...

...now we're good to go...and come...in the comfort of our warm car...it really is amazing what we take for granted...
