Kind of funny story...only kind of

[Fly Guy]

so we took the jetskis up to the lake yesterday for what we intended on being a couple of hours. My wife, myself, her 14 year old and our 14 week old son. I have two skis so someone is always with the kid.

We go to leave and my keys are gone, SOMEBODY who needs to sit down to go to the bathroom.........anyways, doesnt matter how...they are gone, we are an hour and a half from home, in a canyon with no cell phone service or payphones.



There is a Marina about 5 miles away by boat(it is starting to get dark now), where there is a pay phone. Luck WOULD have it that the people who shuttle my truck when i do river trips only live 20 miles away and have a key to my truck. SO, i do the only thing i can do...i jump on the big bike which goes 70 luckily and go make the phone call. About a 45 min later, my keys arrive BUT we have another small issue. I have a fairly high tech alarm system on my truck........all i have is a key. The alarm runs for 10 minutes and then off for 5, on for one, off for 5, on for one.....etc etc. OR whenever you would hut a bump in the road, or touch any of the windows or doors, that will start it over at the full 5 minutes.

So we drive home for an hour and a half like this, whenever the alarm would go off of course my hazard lights and bed lights come on.

We never got pulled over on the way home and the funniest momant of the day was when we go by a cop who had someone pulled over and the VERY loud, non typical alarm goes off right before we come up along side him. You should have seent he look on his face....but he didnt do anything and continued to write his ticket or whatever.........





we get home and the alarm only goes off for about 30 seconds in my driveway before i went in the house and got the other key/alarm set.

My son who has colic never cried once during this whole fiasco.......i think the noise was calming to him.......

HAHAHA! that is funny, Bill. You never know what is going to calm down a colicky baby!

[Loverotties]

Maybe you should tape the noise and see!I herd if you leave a vacuum cleaner running in anougher room will keep them quiet.Someone told me the docter told them that and they wore out 3 vac. by doing it.

One time Dad held a colicky grandchild and hummed really low sounds. Soothed that baby into blissful sleep.

The only thing that worked on my son was riding in the car. Used alot of gas. Luckily thats when gas was under a dollar!

Bill... You need to attach one of those key floaters to your keys when you go to the lake

on way to fix the alarm on any car is to... ok, pm me if you need to know. I can't be giving out those kind of secrets

ROFL!!! What a story, Bill! At least it had a happy ending and Carver must've enjoyed the noisy ride!

After too many misadventures with keys, I always carry a spare in my billfold. That almost always works except for the time at the lake I locked my keys and my wallet in the car!!!

I dont hink your just going to "fix" this alarm twitter.......UNLESS your a hacker who has another electronical device that can figure out the signal like on james bond or something.

This alarm notifies my keychain of which door or window has been breached via satellite and its spliced into the battery line so deep under the dash you would have to remove either the entire dashboard and instrument panels or engine to get to ajny of the the wires. Unhooking the battery would stop it........but then its not going to get you home.

I could be wrong though......

My best key story happened two weeks ago. So me and the wife decide to go to the lake. I hook up the boat fill it with gas and come home. Before we left for the lake I thought i would clean out the boat. Much to my surprise I ran into a wasp nest. I'm deathly afraid of wasps. I ran around the lawn like a sally. Well an hour passes and we go to leave but wait a minute I can't find the keys. So I spend 2 hours looking for them with no luck, and no extra set. One of the places I looked was the yard. i thought as a final attempt I would check the lawn again with the lawn mower. Bad idea I found the keys alright in 50 pieces. lesson learned, don't try to find things with a lawn mower.

Bill if your teuck has that hi tech an larm trust no one with the keys, carry spares on a short necklace. I used to have to make my drivers carry a spare key taped to the back of their photo Id card, payed $45 a pop to pop the doors once each when they locked them in, no more
