I told her that when I came down at the end of the week, I would replace the rest of them, since this was the 2nd one to go (the last being in December)...

I arrived Friday evening, had a wonderful dinner, relaxed and had a good night sleep...

Saturday came, and we went to an exercise class, had brunch, took the dog for a long walk (making sure she pooped IN OUR YARD before we set out) and then dinner at a friend's house... All in all a very nice day...

Soooo... at 3:05am, CHIRP!, CHIPR!, CHIRP!... It's the one in the hallway between our bedroom and the laundry room...

Go to the garage, get the ladder, batteries and proceed to change THAT one...

So much for a good night's sleep...

This morning, I changed all of the remaining detectors... I'm done for at least another year...

So here's the question... How do they always know to go off in the middle of the night?

Manufactured in China so there they go off in the day.
