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. https://www.burgonandball.com/shop/scripts/prodList.asp?idcategory=80 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.
