That was actually my first system. The sign works better for me
now... I store it on top of my bike. When I get the bike out, I'm
forced to think about where to move the sign to... The right answer
is, hang it on the garage door.

As I get older, I need this sort of chain of events, to keep me from
forgetting things like putting the remote in the back of the car!
