Well, that makes for a productive day.

I finally got out in the slightly-less-bitterly-cold-than-lately garage to program a new remote for the garage door. Programming a garage door remote is dead easy; translating between the instructions for a remote bought in 2014, the instructions for an opener mechanism from at least the mid-1990s and possibly as much as twenty years earlier, and the device itself.... Well, let's just say it's a good thing I write science fiction. ;-)
