I was baking cookies this morning and doing laundry. I had the Tacky White Tree turned on, the living room tree turned on, and I was blaring the CDs.
And the alarm sounded in the kitchen. I can't find any smoke, nothing feels warm. I went outside and didn't see any smoke. Everything seemed OK. Came back in the house and turned it off. Only to have it sound again in about ten minutes or so. Turned it off, went downstairs and checked the basement. Went back outside. Checked the walls. Everything is fine. And about five minutes later, it came back on. I texted Rick and he said to unplug the Tacky White Tree. I turned the music off and unplugged both trees. Dryer seemed fine.
The darn alarm went off five times this morning. I finally said the heck with it and took the battery out. I can't find a thing wrong anywhere. It's not just a low beep to tell the battery is low either; it's a full-fledged alarm sound (We're talking "Danger! Danger, Will Robinson!" kind of thing here.)
Rick said he'll check out the white tree when he gets home; maybe there's something wrong in there somewhere.
It's the first time this has ever happened (well, it went off one other time, but um, well, the oven was on fire that time, so that was understandable. It was my son's fault, not mine! He made a terrible mess in the oven and never cleaned it up and never bothered to tell me).
So I have no idea what the heck is going on. I turned the living room tree back on and am playing music again. I don't smell anything funky. I can't find anything. I walked around the house three times. Nothing.
