Family Photo Fun

Okay.... so now you are aware of how the game is played... I'll hope

you will join me on Friday when we do a little photography and

see how our pictures come out.. topic is ANIMALS... so do your

best!


June 2 we had a visit from Mike and Robb Best. During supper an

annoying little chirp started and we assumed it was the smoke

detector, as that was where the sound seemed to come from. We

bought 3 new 9v batteries and had John put them in before

finding out that we had 4 alarms..

Paul brought us a new one on Saturday and still the rascals

chirped on.

So we called for help to the home sales place where we bought the

trailer.

This has been 6 days of crazy chirping, and only one of the smoke

alarms did it. All the alarms are hooked together so that if there is

a fire in the back room, all the other alarms also go off

simultaneously.

So the guy came this afternoon and spent over an hour with us

trying to figure out the mystery. He announced to us first that we

don't have 3 or 4 alarms, but 5 !

Forevermore! As things ended up, he couldn't make the chirp

stop either and in frustration totally disconnected the alarms and

batteries and the chirp was still there. I suggested we invite Ghost

Hunters to try to figure out this mystery. As a last resort, the guy

called the homesales for help..

the woman on the other end said 'are there any other alarms in

the house?

Maybe a CO or gas alarm?'.. Uhhhhh..well... yes, we do and it's

right under the smoke alarm and runs on battery and AC

current..

DUDE ! Is my face as red as I think it is? We removed the

CO/gas alarm and the little bugger let out a chirp...

Mystery solved. All the batteries we put in were brand new 5

months ago. Who would have guessed?
