Bob returned to the pool after 2 weeks out and when we came home from the pool, OH NO! I pushed the magic button and the GARAGE DOOR did not MOVE! NOOOOOO...
Good news is, it was just a battery, Alas! no battery, but he had a really old Magic Button on his workbench because he never throws away anything, he kept it from YEARS ago when we bought the new lifter thingy... the ancient battery worked.
Bad News! That night I received this in an email. OH NO... he missed 2 weeks and now this.
Good news! I said when we were drinking our 4 AM coffee, since we can't swim, why don't we go walk around in Wal-Mart and get our exercise that way. I nearly keeled over from SHOCK when He Said Yes! We left for WM at 5:17, our time we go to the Y and I took him on a tour of the newly remodeled and oh so ugly WM..
we gathered up new batteries for the Garage door opener and batteries for his hearing aids, and walked the perimiter of the store in icy cold temps. We ended up spending 20 minutes in front of all the AMAZING Big Screen Smart TV's and when we left I said ....
It's time for you to learn how to do self check out.. and handed him the batteries, He muttered and fussed and carried on. I said just walk up to it and wave the battery. Don't i have to touch it? NO, just WAVE the battery....
Now wave the other battery. Touch PAY, put the card chip in the scanner, Voila! you are done.
He said that was easy.... Told you So I sang on the way to the car. I may have taken a few photos.
Wheres the car he says... (he did not know I took this to see what the cell does in the dark.
