I've searched the ruins of the farmhouse and garage repeatedly and found nothing. All I get is a message about packing peanuts and their affinity for static electricity and my left eyelid.

Thanks for the prompt about the castle. I just recently got what I needed to enter but didn't think of using it there before.

Now that I've got part 2 of that little puzzle, I think I remember getting part 1 from the farmhouse, but I used it right away.

Thanks for the help!
