I'm hoping some of you tech types might be able to help me. One of the remote keys for my 2022 Honda CR-V just stopped working a couple of days ago. I've replaced the battery with a new one, but it still doesn't work. It hasn't been dropped or immersed, and is seldom used. The local dealer's parts department tells me that these keys "don't just lose programming." Three local locksmiths have no other ideas than replacing the key. I'm still hoping to avoid that. Any ideas? TIA!


Just read a post on a CR-V site. The guy had the same problem. He found that if he cleaned the contacts in the battery compartment of the fob, he used a "Mr. Clean Magic Eraser", that solved his problem. In similar situations in the past I've use a pencil eraser to clean contacts.

Don't cost anything and it might work.

How about a list of contradictory proverbs:

Opposites attract. Birds of a feather flock together.
Opposites attract is mostly a myth: Couples match up for age, physical attractiveness, height, religion, income, ethnic group, political views, and so on.

The early bird gets the worm. Haste makes waste.
So hurry up and wait!

All good things come to him who waits. A stitch in time saves nine.
Ditto.

Attack is the best form of defense. He who lives by the sword dies by the sword.
So be a hawk and also a dove.

Clothes make the man. You cannot judge a book by its cover.
So be superficial—or not.

Familiarity breeds contempt. Home is where the heart is.
So we hate—and love—familiar experiences.

Great minds think alike. Fools seldom differ.
Agreeing with others is a sign of intelligence—or stupidity.

Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep and you weep alone. Misery loves company.
So gloomy people seek companionship but get rejected?

Money is the root of all evil. Money makes the world go around.
So money is very bad and also very constructive.

Too many cooks spoil the broth. Many hands make light work.
So other people mess up the project—or help it along.

Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. Eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we die.
So invest in the future—or not.

Love makes the world go around. When poverty comes in the door, love flies out the window.
So love is good and powerful—or completely unreliable.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Out of sight, out of mind.
So your absent lover will pine—or play the field.

I have two PC's. One is a desktop (main computer) and one is a laptop (my emergency-standby-backup computer). I installed Win 11 on the laptop and one thing jumped out immediately.

I'm one of the few people I know that puts the taskbar on the side of the screen rather than the bottom. Windows 11 does not permit that. It only allows it to be at the bottom. With a registry hack you can move it to the top and it will work up there. The same hack will move it to either side, but it isn't functional there.

Hopefully the ability to move the taskbar to the side will be restored before too long.

I got a good laugh out of this, but there was something in the back of my mind and google revealed this:

"The eyes of an owl are not true “eyeballs.” Their tube-shaped eyes are completely immobile, providing binocular vision which fully focuses on their prey and boosts depth perception. Owls can rotate their necks 270 degrees. ... A group of owls is called a parliament."

So I call "PhotoShop"!! Sometimes the truth hurts.

About 30 years ago I had a Jeep that used an Infrared type remote lock. One day I parked in a lot, got out and started to walk away. I reached back with the fob and pressed the button and heard a beep-beep. The only problem was that my Jeep didn't do beep-beep. It just went ker-chunk (which I heard too). I stopped and turned around and pressed the fob button again and heard another beep-beep a couple of spaces down. I tried it a couple of more times, same results. I just shook my head, put my keys in my pocket and went on in to the store.

My wife mailed a package from central NC to her sister in NW Iowa on Thursday the 17th. Her sister received it on Tuesday the 22nd. I didn't think that was too bad.

Makes me think of a quote from Ben Franklin I heard years ago:

“I'd rather be a pessimist because then I can only be pleasantly surprised.”

You'll wonder where the yellow went
When you brush your teeth with Pepsodent.



Sing it over and over and over again
Frosty Morn.
