The other night one of the smoke alarms on our upstairs level starting "chirping". I removed it from the ceiling/plug in and pulled the battery. All five alarms on this level started to chirp over the next few minutes. So, I pulled them all and removed the batteries.
I've now replaced the batteries in all five units. When I test them (batteries in, not plugged in to the ceiling), I find that one of the five sounds the alarm at the decible (spelling?) level it should-- nice and loud, roughly the equivalent to a person shouting at the top of their lungs. The other four aren't nearly as loud as they are supposed to be- more like a person talking with a normal voice kinda level. I'm totally confused!
Are the four that aren't too loud the "good" ones, because they aren't supposed to be too loud when they're only battery run? Are they all shot for some reason? Is the loud one the only one that's still good? What the heck should I do to make sure I've got good, functional units that'll work and not keep me up all night while they "chirp"?

Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

Any help appreciated.
