I don’t have a picture because Mr. Take Care of the Situation took care of the situation before I could snap a shot. But trust me when I tell you that the end is here.

We awoke to an annoying beeping sound. Not a smoke alarm. Not a coffee pot malfunctioning. Not a sound system error projecting from the living room. It was a repeating 5 beeps. Then quiet. Then 5 additional beeps.

It was never ending.

Upon further investigation Chris discovered our carbon monoxide detector was flashing the word END and beeping relentlessly. I won’t lie. He opened the doors….

After further review and consulting with Mr. Google we discovered that this was the sign that the device itself had indeed reached end of life. Considering we have lived in the house for 8 years now it was time.

Now we know. And now you know as well. The end is here, at least for that particular device. No worries, another is on its way to us.
