After stocking up on no-end auto related tools I stopped hanging out at hardware stores. I have friend who is constantly buying something. Since he had a basement water leak he mentioned his water alarm. What? Never heard of them. Sounded like cheap insurance, so I ordered these from Amazon. By far, they had the best reviews with 95% at 5 star and 5% at 4 star. I don't recall seeing reviews like that on any product, ever. They take 2 AA batteries and purchase comes with 10.
Because I am gone a lot I ordered the ones that connect to my WIFI so I get notified via my phone.

A word of caution, when I was looking for the best brand I read several reports of WIFI alarms having issues. But that might work better if there is no one around to hear them.
Not sure if I actually mentioned it. I tore my left calf muscle, just by being "old" (according to the physio) - I took 2 steps at a time heading out to the workshop one morning and it just let go. My achilles had been feeling tight for the 2 days prior, but it felt much better that day so I was feeling sprightly/over-confident. I guess it's better than the achilles letting go.
Augusts have been unlucky for me for 4 years straight now, which is annoying because that's when getting ready for cropping. The livestock just left for the sale yard an hour ago and we're spraying the paddocks on Friday. I have to head out shortly on the tractor to move a calf shelter out of the way.
2021: Covid
2022: Tore right calf - crutches for 6 weeks
2023: Kidney stones
2024: Tore left calf - crutches for 6 weeks
2025: ...place your bets!
Off to the oral surgeon's office for what I'm hoping is the final inspection before I can get my replacement tooth on the implant. It's been a long process, but I'm glad I've done it.............so far.
Lainey, I am glad that you are nearing the end of this process.
Matt when we are young and doing all that stupid shit, we don't realize we are signing high interest, balloon payment loans on our bodies.
It's a bitch when they come due.
Lainey, I am glad that you are nearing the end of this process.
It has been a long time. When did it start?
I have forgotten which tooth it is.
Sue, I broke the tooth last August 4th on my birthday. I was very happy with the oral surgeon and all his staff and mentioned that to him. I see my dentist next week for digital measurements, he sends the info to the lab, and I should have the crown about 2-3 weeks later. It's a lower tooth, behind the eye tooth. Thankfully, not too noticeable most times. I didn't spend the money on a temporary tooth. The dentist said most people don't like the temporaries, have difficulty eating with them. He said if it was a front tooth, he'd recommend something, but didn't advise me to spend the $ in this case. I was OK with that, and I'll be happy to have a tooth in that spot again.
