I'll start by saying this past Wednesday wasn't good. Got home
from work, and got an after hours call, because the people were
going to die if it got any warmer than 76 in their house. It
took me 2 1/2 hours round trip, 20 minutes to fix, and 10
minutes of paper work to get their A/C working. Then it got
worse.  I go to bed, and at exactly 2:18 AM, the smoke alarms
start going off. I have 4 of them in this place, and they were
loud, and since there was no fire, I was more than upset. I hear
monitors don't like obscene language, so I'll leave it at that.
I'll be the first to admit that I don't follow that daylight
savings time of changing the batteries twice a year rule, as I
only change the batteries once a year.  The reason is becuse
they are hardwired in anyway, so once a year should be
sufficient. I pick a day of the year that I dislike as much as I
do bringing the ladder in, and changing the stupid batteries.
April 15, of every year. I bought the batteries on the 13th,
changed them, pushed the test button
