My grandson spent some time over at the cabin helping “Pop” with a few things around the property. On this day we put up a couple of driveway alarms. So far I’ve had a heck of a time getting them to work. I guess I should read the owner’s manual and instructions….LOL. I think there are some adjustments I need to make.
Regardless – I so enjoy my grandson spending time with me out on the property. In today’s world where kids have their noses stuck in front of the TV, or looking at a phone having them enjoy the outdoors so much is awesome.
Here’s an Instagram post I published a bit ago…..

Could it get any better? Well, I'm working on it.
I had one that every time the power went out, even for a couple of minutes I had to reset the receiver. In the house and setting the different alarm sounds for each transmitter was an effort in frustration
He is so cute! I can’t believe he’s gotten that big already.
My dad had driveway alarms that worked well and were easy to use, but I have no idea what kind they were. He’s not around anymore to ask.
Rourke, I’m not getting alerts for new posts.
