  1. First of all, you need to determine if it is alarming to CO or to LP. My Safe-T-Alert is 8 years old, Model 70-742. Anyway, when the CO alarm goes off, it does four beeps, then five seconds off then four more beeps and has a steady red light. If LP is detected, the audible signal is constant and the red light flashes. Four nights ago at 3 am, my CO detector started sounding. I thought it was malfunctioning as I had no source of CO in my trailer going at the time. However, I had also installed a battery operated CO detector in the bedroom about a year ago and it was showing 30 ppm also. I thought maybe someone outside was idling a vehicle or running a generator or something similar, but no such thing. I opened a couple of windows and turned on my exhaust fan. Both detectors cleared and went to zero within a few minutes. Everything was fine until that evening, when both detectors went into alarm again. Long story short, I went online and researched what if anything could cause a false reading on CO detectors. Hydrogen off of a battery was one. I had just added water to my house battery the day before. So, I checked the battery. When I opened the battery compartment, I found a strong odor and a very hot battery with less than 9 volts. Evidently, hydrogen off of that battery had made it's way into the trailer and caused the CO detectors to alert. Replaced the battery and no problems for two days now.
  2. Sorry if I misled you. The 211K has a satellite tuner and an over the air tuner. You can record on one and watch the other, or you can record on both at the same time. There's a coax input on the back of the receiver to which you connect your over the air antenna. Then, scan for your over the air channels and they will be added to your program guide.
  3. Some people watch TV more than others. I record Meet the Press every Sunday. Sometimes it's Friday before I get time to watch it. I guess I just like being outdoors more than watching the boob tube. My 211K with two tuners is more than enough for me. To each his own.
  4. They say that as we get older we revert to our childhood. I guess some revert sooner than others. Me? I never left mine.
  5. Good suggestions. I actually eat lot's of sweet potatoes and never thought of trying honey on them. I can't see how putting honey on cooked carrots can do anything but help, anything to make them taste better. I do eat raw veggies pretty often, I think I'll try some honey on them. Thanks.
  6. Thanks for comments. It says on the bottle USA Grade A Pure Honey, but I don't know how reliable that is. I've only eaten honey on biscuits, but am looking for more ways to use it. I'm not a big bread eater.
  7. I have the idea that I want to incorporate honey into my diet in some way. I don't eat much sugar or sugar products. Anyway, this morning I decided to use honey in my coffee instead of sugar. I normally use about a teaspoonful of sugar per mug. I started with half a teaspoonful of honey. It did not sweeten the coffee at all. Next cup I used a full teaspoonful. The coffee was still not sweet, but had a distinctive honey aftertaste. It changed the taste of the coffee to the point that I didn't like it. I do like the taste of honey, just evidently not in my coffee. So, I'm looking for ideas about adding honey to my mealtime. I don't snack much and never bake. Thanks for any and all input.
