It is winter here and soon to be spring but it's a great time to do a little garage cleanup and remodeling. OK so it is raining too hard really want to go out for a ride. Yes, I know I live in Oregon, yes it rains 9 months out of the year. Yes, I know the rain gets warmer in the spring, cooler in the fall and down right cold in the winter but this is not about the rain... it's about the garage. I have added two new little toys to the garage. The first is my Garage Butler.

This is a handy little gadget I first found while reading the Sky Mall magazine while I was flying somewhere and found this amazing gadget. See, I have a little problem. I tend to get distracted and sometimes forget to close my garage door. Sometimes it is on my way to work, sometimes it when I'm headed out for a ride, and sometimes it is when I'm headed to bed. I don't use a regular garage door opener that is left in the car but instead use a key fob so that should I leave my car unlocked, some not so trusting individual would not be able to break into the garage. To resolve this little problem, the Garage Butler solves the problem. It automatically closes the garage door after a set amount of time or when the garage is dark for a few minutes. The Garage Butler saves the day. I found the Garage Butler on Amazon for about 1/4 the price of Sky Mall.
The second item was picked-up at my favorite store IKEA in Portland. These handy hooks are compact but work well for hanging items on the wall. These hooks sell for $6 for three.
