Seems that I bought a "kitchen" smoke alarm a few years ago that had a
"disable for a few minutes" button. However it was not a long enough
timeout, plus the stupid thing beeped periodically to tell it was in
this special mode. Have any good reliable circuits been established for
disabling a smoke alarm for something like ten minutes with negligible
effect on battery life? Thanks.


Maybe now's the time to invest in that backyard propane barbecue
grill...

That's where a majority of our cooking is done from just about now
until November.

Then it's too cold (~65°F) to stand out there ;-)

I just cooked some steaks for lunch on the outdoor BBQ yesterday. It's
around about freezing, so popping out in a short-sleeved shirt isn't
an issue. ;-)

Freezing, yesterday, during lunch? What part of the country are you
in?

I'm in Toronto. This has been an extremely mild winter (so far).

Temperature: -1°C
Normal: -10°C
Record high: +6°C (1990)
Record low: -23°C (1963)


It's in the high 60s/low 70s out here in Sacramento right about now.
I'd better go skiing in the Sierra mountains soon before all the good
snow is gone...

Not much snow here (zero on the ground locally). The local ski resorts
in Ontario and Western New York state have some (Buffalo got 12" of
snow in the last couple of days, and we got 12" of rain).

-1°C ?! Wow. One can almost die in the parking lot on the way to the
car...

Do you have to shovel the driveway every day? We've got family friends
in Toronto, they told us about the snow shoveling. I wanted to visit
them in the winter, but they say "nothing to see in the winter... come
in spring/summer".

Is Buffalo in the mountains then? You got rain when they got snow?
