Hi folks, Just had my yard fenced in and have been looking for a solution to this issue. I want to jog around the inner perimeter of the yard, without having to use the cane or run along the fence within touching distance. My solution? Finding a way to have all four corner posts rigged with sound so as I approach, I know whereabouts I'm at. Running speakers out there for music would require a couple of hundred bucks to run the electric, speaker wire, and then the speakers themselves, so I was looking around online for beeping devices that I might simply velcro to the four fence posts and be guided that way. To date, all I've found is a $30 per beeper solution from MaxiAids, that uses nonrechargeable batteries, two of each, which get pricey when talking about replacement. (It'd actually be cheaper for me to buy a few of these beeping foam balls for kids, taking out those beepers and using them, but I still wind up with the expense of pricey batteries. I'll eventually run the speakers, both for my jogging and the addition to the yard for BBQs, etc., so spending $120 on a short-term solution isn't in the cards. Suggestions? Anybody using anything that beeps that uses traditional batteries for which my charger will work? Another solution entirely, perhaps? (I thought about driving a stake into the center of the yard and using a rope, but I have a tree in the way that can't be removed at present due to town ordinance, otherwise I'd just do the circles. Any thoughts/tips/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Best, Joe [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
