Online alarm clock for 3:38 am
Before handing the early stock move to the next person, you can set the alarm for 3:38 am and pass on the plan for getting the herd across Hawke’s Bay country before the daytime heat. The timing leaves a useful stretch before 4:00 am for boots, gates and a quick check of the route.
During the handover, the alarm page may be pushed behind messages, weather information or another screen. It needs to remain loaded and able to run, so returning to it once the details are settled confirms that the alarm is still ready. If the browser page is closed or the phone goes to sleep, no alarm will sound for the herd departure. A separate phone alarm provides sensible backup when another person is taking responsibility.
A 3:38 am signal can carry through a quiet house more sharply than expected, particularly when whānau are asleep nearby. Keeping the phone close to the person taking over allows a lower volume, while vibration on a firm bedside surface adds a local cue without sending the sound down the hallway. Gear and clothing prepared away from bedrooms also reduce the noise after waking.
