I thought it was the batteries, (my box on the wall is velcroed) or the cold air makes it work intermittently. (the elves must have visited my house) <br /><br />I don't think there is an on/off switch, but I'm going to go check right now.Candy's daily Dandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18172746492146546253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904287205964455973.post-320160653200666102010-11-05T10:36:37.751-07:002010-11-05T10:36:37.751-07:00We all have our skills sets, my friend.

He's on disability because of his cognitive functioning level (what we used to call "mental retardation"). I think it's more like Aspergers or something. He's actually quite clever. Here's a story of one of his problem-solving episodes.<br /><br /><a href="http://thefredeffect.com/2010/06/13/mad-matt-problem-solver/" rel="nofollow">Mad Matt: Problem solver</a>Fred Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09660937700796431860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904287205964455973.post-14400485377619780572010-11-05T01:46:14.880-07:002010-11-05T01:46:14.880-07:00Something tells me that I'd really like Doug. ...Something tells me that I'd really like Doug. lol!J.J. in L.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14394864319127058771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904287205964455973.post-51618161905565832722010-11-04T20:11:49.710-07:002010-11-04T20:11:49.710-07:00that sounds exactly like something my husband woul...that sounds exactly like something my husband would do! lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803472040500529682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904287205964455973.post-55053931084005854412010-11-04T19:14:43.231-07:002010-11-04T19:14:43.231-07:00Ah, the garage door trials.

When we moved into this house, one of the two doors was rigged with a wireless button by the door, and the other was wired. But, it seemed like either button would randomly open or close the door of it's choosing, and often not the door or direction you wanted. Made NO sense to me (then again, I have handyman skills worse than yours, aka, if it's broke, don't touch it, or it'll break worse, maybe on purpose when I hit it out of frustration.) We got both motors replaced. Then, the spring went out on one door (so they told me and charged me for), but in the mean time, the cable came loose and the weight of the door nearly bent the metal rails beyond repair. I've dealt with leaves, dirt and kid toys blocking the laser's view. One motor's battery backup died and screwed everything up until we disconnected the battery.<br /><br />The funniest one was trying to figure out why the door stopped working in progress, only to find that none of the usual tricks worked. As it turned out, the release rope was caught in the passenger door of the suburban, so when the door started to move, it released and disconnected the door. Have not encountered the lock mode yet. Thanks for the tip.jdemotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14916934493461002586noreply@blogger.com
