Gorilla Tripod - Handier than a Handle on a Hog

Found this tripod at a garage sale run by a college for $5.  She said it was for taking pictures of friends, but I have found so many more uses.  My old camera demonstrates mine below.  Click here for other shots of the Gorilla Tripod.  Hit the back arrow to return to this blog.

Mine does not have magnetic feet. 

Gated Entrance

Schlage Cypher Lock on Front Door

Two of my favorite things around The Place is the cypher lock on the front door and the same model on the Car Barn.  Both Home Depot and Lowe's carry them as I recall.

When I wanted the first one for my birthday, my hubby who is also an IT guy, said "Why?"  And when I wanted the second one, he said "Why there?"

After he installed them, he can't image what we did without either.  Neither can I.  They are so convenient - no keys to carry.  And we can't lock ourselves out of either place if the wind slams the door shut.

Our son also has one, but it is connected to his dead-bolt lock, and the combination must be entered to both unlock and lock the door.  Ours requires the combo only to unlock the door, and I like that much better.

Here is what it looks like:
