31/365 Blizzard

 They said it was coming and boy did it come. 

The winds are howling. A true blizzard. 

I am thankful to stay put and not have to work or find shelter in this weather. 

30/365 Craft Supplies

 Picked up a couple of great rolling carts at Costco and organized the grand-girls craft supplies.  

29/365 Garage Door Opener

Discovered one of the garage doors was open and we had a very cold garage.  And the door would not shut. Brrrr An hour of fiddling, taking apart, testing and downloading/reading manuals and I figured out the problem - a faulty opener on the wall.... a much cheaper fix than a new circuit board on the actual motor. 

It looked like a $89 fix but a little googling and I find out it is under extended warranty d/t a recall/defect. A phone call to Arizona and a new opener is on the way. In the meantime, we have to cross two wires on the wall to get the door to open and repeat to close it. I can live with that. 

So much better than David's solution..... "call someone will you?"  :) 

He appreciates my cheapness!
