A smoke detector’s shrill chirp had me awake before daybreak. Those batteries that are supposed to last 10 years? Ummm… nope.
There are 100 smoke detectors here at the barndo.
Ok, so you know there’s not REALLY 100, but there are several. At least 10 in actuality. The culprit this time was upstairs and I had one of the circular things down and in my hand when the offensive sound came from a different one. I replaced all the batteries upstairs and ordered more for downstairs.
The puppies are loving these cool mornings, but so do stink bugs!
Stink bugs love this cooler weather too. When you smash them and put them in the trash, you get to smell them everytime the can’s lid opens. Oh, and it lasts for days and days. I know this from experience.
They say to keep the smelly insects from coming inside your home, you should make sure everything is airtight — no place for them to enter. Of course, not one article with all that advice considers 3 dogs going in and out all day. Dharma had 2 on her back yesterday morning as she was standing at the door waiting to be let inside.
Now you know: One of the co-creators of Keurig coffee machines sold his stake for $50,000 in 1997. In 2010, more than $2 billion of Keurig machines and K-Cups were sold.
