Anyways, when I'm in the truck, people DON'T do stupid things to me, like cutting me off, tailgating, etc. I wonder if it's because they can see me better, or because it's a lifted truck, and not a lowered sportscar.

How visible the car is would be my guess. You may get the very rare person that is poking because of what it is but most just plain don't see you. Most because they are not looking but in some cases the car is just so low it is almost invisible.

I'm only a little bit insanely jealous.

Well, OK ....... a another Mexico story.

It was back in the 70s and I was a research rep and my co-worker was a tech rep for a chemical company. Every year we took a selected group of university professors, that had done research for our company, down to Mexico for a week of fishing and sight seeing.

So, we laid on the company jet and shuttled about 20 of them down to Mazatlán. Now, about the worst thing that could happen was to allow a guest to wind up in a Mexican jail. So we housed them in a first class hotel .....that had a rule ...... NO Mexican girls allowed in the hotel rooms!

OK, so, Ken and I explained to rule to them ...... stating that we had retained a local cab driver to stand by at the hotel to transport anyone who had a burning desire to have a Mexican girl, to an appropriate place. Just ask one of us and we would accompany them.

Well, there is always that 10% (university professors included) that don't play by the rules. One hot, Mexican night, Dr Clancy _______ from UC Davis brought an under age girl up to his room ...... and got caught. The management called the federales and he was arrested and taken to jail.

So, Ken and I had to go down and get him out. Now, Ken and I had a strategy when traveling in Mexico together, that, although Ken spoke fluent Spanish, he would never talk, I in my gutter Mexican, would do the talking, he would just listen and whisper in my ear what they were saying.

Well, as it turned out, we had to almost max out our credit cards to get him out of jail and "keep it off the books".

Now, to put THAT on your expense account ........ but, that is another story .........

Does anyone have a keychain garage door opener? Getting kind of tired of having to use the keypad on the garage because I don't have an opener, and it sucks when I come home with my hands full of stuff. Something like this. I just need to check compatibility, but if anyone has one, would be appreciated to get some feedback. And would there be compatibility issues? I'd assume if it sends out the right frequency, it would work?

My in-laws had one similar to that. Think you needed a working one to program it though.


Edit: This one looks like you don't need a working remote so should work fine if you jump through the hoops to set it.

There are two already but since I'm never around, I don't get one. I may end up getting a craftsman branded one since that's what the opener is, but if I can save a few bucks and get one that works, I'm open to it

See my edit. The one they had worked fine and I believe (not sure) that it was a Craftsman opener.

I have very limited experience with garage openers; but I did buy and install one for myself. It came with 3 remotes, I had to pair each of them with the receiver from inside the garage.
If I needed more I would buy more of the original remotes rather than generic ones, to avoid hassle.
