Who would have thought something so small would make me so happy?
It’s just a little garage door opener type thing but oh, so useful!
I so love this little RTV. Before you ask . . that’s a picture from during the winter. We’re not wearing jackets quite yet around here. In this “hood”, we visit neighbors via RTV but to get through the gate, I either have to get out and manually open the gate or I have to grab the opener out of whichever vehicle is here . . either the Honda or the S-10, whichever Vince didn’t drive to work. Almost every day I have to go down to the mail box to get a package. I have to go back to the house, get the keys to the car and drive down there. Vince keeps telling me that driving the car for such short distances isn’t good for it. What does he think I’m going to do . . walk??
We love going for a ride on the RTV in the evenings and half the time, we don’t plan to go through the gate but then decide to do it and we have to get out and manually push the gate buttons. Life can be so difficult out in the country! 🙂
So, I asked Vince if he would order me a little garage door opener and put it on the RTV keys. That way . . we’ll always have a gate opener and I won’t have to drive one of the cars down to get the mail and I won’t have to grab an opener out of another vehicle.
Ahhh . . life is good! I sure hope someone calls and needs for me to meet them at the gate today! 🙂

LOL I know the feeling. We have a HUGE shop that holds 2 semi trucks with trailers, and room to spare, with a side storage and office area. Did I have a garage…nope. So when we built the new place and I got a garage, did I think I would have to share it with DH, no I didn’t. With lots of hollering and berating of me, he uses it to….the motorcycle it seems cannot go in the shop. OK ….well can I at least have an opener for the door on “my side”. Huhhhhh that would be a NO also. finally my SIL put one in for me 🙂 hooooray I am still excited when I go to push that button. My DH will not do anything on a car or around the house, sadly. If it is not one of his toys, the boat or motorcycle, or a semi truck, well he is not gonna take care of it. When we built the house I wanted to put that fabric down that keeps out weeds, because I don’t weed. He said we didn’t need it. Well I told him I didn’t weed. 3 years later, when the weeds were more like trees, over his 6’5″ frame, he chopped them down…..still no weed fabric, but I suppose in another 3 years he will get around to weeding it again. LOL……I like containers, and I do weed them, but I told him ……been married a long time, he doesn’t do around the house….no matter what he says..

We have a “renovated” golf cart that gets us around the camp … and when we got the electronic gate, I ordered four gate openers right off the bat … one for my car (which I actually have the gate code programmed into my car’s system — the opener is a back-up), one for Todd’s truck, one for the golf-card, and one spare in case we have family staying longer term at the camp. Of course, there is a keypad to get in, and an automatic exit probe, but still … more convenience is more better! LOL! 🙂
