Fitted a new garage door remote control.
Usual long mcatrophy (illustrated) monologue:
Garage door is a heavy two-car wide door. First thing we did when we moved in was to fit an electric opener, there's no way Wifey could manually open or close it. It came with two remote controllers, these are large, but with a nice big button.

When in the front inside pocket of my jacket, I could work it through the jacket material. However, if I put other stuff in the pocket (wallet, phone), it became a bit of a nuisance, and if I wore my other suit, I'd invariably forget to swap the controller.
So, I fitted the controller into a nice convenient slot just under the rear of the tank, wrapped in a plastic bag, switch wires protruding from the plastic case and a remote button mounted on a bracket by my left knee.
Remote control in place The button wires The button mounted
The garage door opener has been working for some 18 years. A couple of weeks ago the garage door motor started playing up, then finally failed. Spares are unobtainable, and I can't leave Wifey unable to get the car out if I'm not around, so we got a new motor fitted. It came with two remote controls, much smaller than our first.
Comparison, new and old
The new smaller controller comes with smaller buttons. Imagine trying to operate that with gloves on, those little buttons are flush. I didn't fancy doing my remote button either, that small case wouldn't take kindly to forcing wires between its parts.
So I splashed out for another remote controller, one designed to be placed in a car's cigarette lighter socket, a nice small controller with a nice BIG gloved-finger operable button
.

Fits like a glove in my glovebox socket
in spite of all the junk I keep in there ...
Inserted but without junk
and I can operate it easily whilst sat on the bike whilst wearing my gloves.
Gloved hand hides button No glove so we can see it (its blue LED just visible dead centre)
Perfect.
Come on, take one for the team.
