A person must move a flap, lift a cover, or break a piece of glass to reach the alarm activation device. Designs that use glass are no longer in favour, because the glass must be replaced each time the alarm is activated.

Decided to go geocaching for the first time in a while. It's unfortunately been too long, and I've been slacking on it. Though to be fair, the weather outside has been kinda all over the place (among other complications).
But those poor, sad travelbugs have been sitting on my desk, looking at me with big puppy-dog eyes, just waiting to see the outdoors again. Today, I'd had enough. I have a vague organizational method where I essentially have a trail of mementos on my desk, and every time I find the time and mental state to tackle one of them, I hammer out that objective, then prepare for the next one. At long last, those poor travelbugs found their way out from behind the other mementos, and finally got a breath of fresh air.
After some initial re-orienting myself around my equipment, I hopped onto my bike and set out to find several of the caches closes to home. Hey... gotta start somewhere, y'know? Decided to pass on the micros for now, but there was two 'smalls' in the nearby vicinity. Hopefully these travelbugs could find a home.
To the bike! Tires are still filled (chain's a little rusty, but it could probably use a once-over in general), let's hit the asphalt (or concrete, since I usually like biking relatively slowly on the sidewalks instead). It wasn't too long before I found the fire station I'd bussed past... well, a handful of times now. Not gonna lie, I went straight for the hints when I opened the cache pages. Not that it was all that inobvious where the cache would be hidden. I may be a bit rusty (much like my bike chain), but I still have an eye for what to look for. A short handful of second later, and the cache was in my hands. Time for a relaxing break after a few minutes biking  . I poked around at the contents of the cache, dropped a piece of popcorn that was inside of there (Really? Popcorn? I hope that was accidental.), and signed up the logsheet. Adding my signature item to the cache, I found a way to organize two of the travelbugs into the cache, with easy room for everything else.
Cache 799 out of the way, I set out on my way to hit a milestone. Thanks for the cache conveniently close to home
