My best friend and I were talking the other day about how even the smallest tasks are hard. Things that should be so simple, feel like they take an act of congress to achieve.
I am super grateful to have a home. Honestly; it has been a lot of hard work. But God has provided me with a stable address for twenty plus years now.
One year for Christmas, I received an electronic lock. This year, I got a new door and the door company installed the lock for me. This is not a complaint. It’s a matter of fact. They couldn’t get it to work. Nor could I. I wallered with it for hours. Bought new batteries. Even called the 1-800 number on the box. 🤦🏼♀️ Nothing.
The idea hit me to take it apart. In my opinion, all the screws were over tightened. When I reassembled it with looser screws, the lock would engage. 🎉 Okay, one part understood.

Now to program this …. hum…. lock. The instructions read straight forward but nothing about programming it was straight forward. I spent hours reading and searching for better instructions. Nothing. Then I watched a video and it worked. Praise be to God. It worked. 🎉

This whole time, the lock worked with the key. So I was able to use it. Now, I can do both.
What’s an electric lock?

The lock uses batteries and has a keypad where the user can use a standard key or program it to accept a code to unlock it.

The more folks tout “smart” devices, the more I am convinced the old ones are smarter. And this is coming from a guy who likes tech.

The notion that technology makes our lives simpler is false. Technology makes our lives more complicated. I think the Amish had it right all along.

Once the lock got programmed, it’s great. I don’t have to waller with a key. Especially when my hands are full. But yes, I do agree, sometimes technically makes you just want to cuss.
