Smoke Detectors

On an unrelated to dating note, I've uncovered another constant of the universe, with respect to smoke detector batteries.

First, when a battery begins to die, should you be awake when it happens, it will chirp constantly until you begin walking around the house, attempting to determine which alarm is making the noise.

Second, when it goes into the death throes of constant, unrelenting chirps, it will always occur between the hours of 2 and 4 a.m.

Seriously, I've got one chirping its fucking head off right now; the whole way through my last entry. Once that entry was posted, I began the process of determining which alarm it was. The chirping stopped until I sat back down to write this. Now it's chirping away.

Fuck!!!!

 I had one that skipped the chirping and went straight for the screaming part...at around 3 or 3:30 in the morning. Hell of a wake up call. lol

That sounds like a really enjoyable morning!

When my now ex wife and I moved into the house we'd built, one of the detectors decided it was defective and began screaming. Unfortunately, the detectors were all networked, so unplugging it didn't stop the screaming. Had to run out and buy a new one IMMEDIATELY.

I think I've identified the culprit. Stood downstairs for ten minutes, waiting for a chirp (after listening to a constant serenade while upstairs), but it finally did it. Fingers crossed.
