It got cold yesterday for the first time this year (so what )... So I brought a couple of home projects into the house, so when I got home I could do warm stuff. One of the things the wife has 'commented' about (b!tc# is kind of strong here for this one ) was contacting me when I am in the B&T center. Especially when the heat is on. We have this little brass ships bell that she dings when food is ready, but now that it is cold out she does not want to go outside to ring it. Offering to run a string inside the door was not met too warmly. We used to have some old Radio Shack wireless intercoms, and I commented that if I could find them we could set them up. So, on Sunday I found them and left them in the laundry room for cleaning (they were shelf dirty from years of retirement in the shop). Last night I decided to clean them and test them out. Well, guess what... They don't work worth a hoot. But....... The one unit makes all the 'touch lights' in the living room cycle through the three way (dim/on/bright) action. Too funny. The wife was laughing at the absurdity of it all. I'm thinking I wasted my time cleaning them, and wondering if the Radio Shack warranty is any good (after 20+ years ) Sigh.....
