When I am driving the tractor I cannot hear anything beep. Maybe I should  
do a Hackaday project that would notify me. Air-raid sirens or eclipsing  
the sun might get my notice.

When shearing sheep I don't want anything on me that is any more high tech  
than the shears. The electric shears have a high-tech motor. The low-tech,  
which are actually safer for the sheep, have not changed in design for  
hundreds of years or more. Burgon & Ball have made them since 1730.

I have some nice aluminum clipboards that also have a compartment.  
Portable writing desk, if you will. I'm going to try incorporating them  
into a better method for keeping track of things. No beeping, though.
