tech fails me

When the smoke detectors battery fails, it's always at 4AM.
Me: "zzzzzsnnnnrkk"
Beep
Me:"huh...zzzzsnrrrkk"
BEEP
Me:"aw hell, wtf is beeping?....zzzzsnrrkrrkk"
BEEP
Me:"mutherf*ckin som-b*tch goddam sh*ta$$ smoke alarm....crap"
BEEP
Stumble out of bed, find which of the 3 smoke alarms is beeping, wonder what the hell, since they are tied into the electrical of the house...oh it's a backup battery...extract battery
BEEP
Remove smoke alarm from ceiling, disconnect from power...
BEEP
Me:"Huh? It's go no power?"
Beeeooop...clck...bzzz...

Of course, by this time the cats have figured out that I am up so it must be time to feed them so they run back and forth, up and down the hallway, I guess they were playing tag or something. All I know is that I was trying to go back to sleep at the same time that they decided my feet were home base.

Next up, the damn Ford Motor Co jingle resumes running through my head, reminding me that it is "Time to drive a Ford, again". I have had this jingle in my head for 2 days now...

Cat one catches cat two and much tussling, hissing and flopping about ensues.

It's time to drive a Ford again.

.............grrr..........

Oh hell, I might as well just get up.
