I didn’t take my ADHD medicine today. Went to go get stuff out of my car and ended up with 3 different screwdrivers on the ground trying to unscrew the garage door opener.
The sun-tanning of the plastic was pretty cool. guess it used to be white instead of yellow/tan. Didn’t know that.

    You know, those Amazon Basics batteries are a poor replacement for Duracells. Batteries are one of the things that I never cheap out on.

      Yep. Manufacturers don’t say to use lithium batteries in outdoor devices for no reason.

        They’re higher capacity, but more importantly they aren’t affected as much by frigid temps.

        This year I learned that alkaline batteries do in fact recharge. I haven’t gone down that rabbit hole yet but it’s on my to do list.

      Agreed. Back before I stopped giving Amazon money, I tried a pack of their brand batteries for my bathroom soap dispensers, and they were absolute garbage. They died 2-3x faster than Duracell/Energizer batteries did in those same devices.
