I only use the deadbolts. The only time I have ever been locked out my house in the 19 years here was when the in-laws locked the other lock and pulled it shut behind them.

She seems to be quite talented maybe that can be her 2nd instrument
Or 3rd. She's still got the piano.
This was me. Early this winter my garage door was misbehaving. I thought maybe it was a sensor problem but I couldn't get it to work by tinkering with the sensor like I usually do. The garage door peeps came out and told me that the opener was toast. It was original to the house (mid '90s) afterall. So the new one they installed has an app so I can open or close from anywhere and it informs me anytime the garage door opens or closes and the current status of said door. It came with two remotes so we just put the app on daughter's phone (she parks on the driveway) for the rare occasions she might need it. We also got a new (replacement) keypad for entry as well.
So now if I'm not sure if I closed it I can tap the app and see if the door is closed or open.
It also has the Amazon thing where Amazon drivers can one time open your door and deliver inside your garage rather than leaving on the stoop. I haven't activated that yet. I'm not sure I trust the drivers to not leave the door open or do something else stupid. I'm also not sure what security controls it has so that an Amazon guy can't come after work and clean out your garage. Although my garage does need a good cleaning...
I need to get a new remote as the button on one is bad after so much use. I still have the second remote that I use now. The phone app would be great.
On one of the many conference calls and one guy is using some sort of AI animated avatar and it's pretty creepy
Pulled a wood tick off me this morning when I woke up. Couldn't have been on me for more than a few hours because I was up a few hours earlier and it wasn't on me then. So that little bastard crawled from who knows where in my place, into my bedroom, up my bed post, and under my covers. It has a date with my blowtorch.
My favorite part about the smart garage door device is the ability to set it to automatically close at a certain time.
Wow, didn't know I could do that. Just checked the app and I can. I should probably set that up because 'Mrs. Kravitz' across the street has called us a time or two to let us know that the door is still open late in the evening.
Thanks!!

Arizona, noon, on the 7th of June, when they highballed over the pass. Bulldog Mack with a can on back, and a Jaguar haulin' ass.
I can't help you there, but we did have a Bobby Sherman record off of a box of Honeycomb cereal when we were kids.
I know it was a different time but he looks like he lost a bet with that haircut.
Oh yay?
We're going there in early October on a geocaching group tour, specifically to cache on and around the volcanoes on the big island. Our fearless leader may need to choose alternate sites on the island!
