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.......

My wife would have WALKED home rather than listen to that!
