Sometimes the simplest things can put a drain on a battery . Something plugged into the accessory slot and forgotton about . Years ago , my inlaws had a Pontiac GranPrix . The battery kept discharging and they took it to the dealers several times . The service dept could figure out the problem and the only thing they did was get grease on the seat . My father in law would plug in a trickle charger every night so it would start in the am . One night he was putting tied up bundles of news papers in the trunk . It was sprinkling so he put the trunk lid down so it didn't latch . He noticed that the trunk light was still on and that the trip switch was adjusted right . Apparently the trunk light was on 24 hours a day and draining the battery . It was a simple fix that was overlooked .

Phade --- Do the trucks use the same sized battery ? Could you have swapped batteries and driven the old Escape while leaving the dead battery at home on charge ? I wonder if your wife was smirking when she mentioned that you had boxed yourself in .....

Guy gets a lesson on when a deer is actually down.

My father in law got me started with deer hunting . He said ,"if you knock one down , put another slug in it's neck to make sure it doesn't get up" ! -
I hope the change isn't being made by Obama's programmers !

I am 72 years old . The guy was able to drive his car around so he wasn't trapped in or anything . I have no idea who he is or where he lives . In my younger years I had helped neighbors that I knew and one neighbor (younger than me) expected me to do it all the time until I told him , no more Buddy .

Location fields in profile, why don't people use them?
fasteddie replied to bluecoupe's topic in General Chit Chat
Some people are ashamed of their location ..... I mean , If you lived in Albany , Binghamton , Watertown , etc , would you want people to know it ? ... And yes , where the Hell is " around here " ! -

Hey Doc ..... My SIL uses these and so do a couple friends and they say they are great . I think DICKs , Tractor Supply and other stores carry them . Here is a link showing various of Snow / Ice Grippers that you wear over boots or shoes . Note : Don't wear them on hardwood floors ! http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?_adv_prop=image&fr=crmas&va=snow+grippers+for+shoes

The Christmas Song that perks me up is " All I Want For Christmas Is You " by Mariah Carey ..........

I was out clearing my driveway and un-burying my trailer with the snowblower . It was 18 degrees out . Someone pulled into the driveway and asked if I cleared neighbor's driveways . I said no and that I blessed the old snowblower every time I went out to use it hoping it would start and run . He then asked if I knew anyone that plowed driveways . I suggested that he look at the driveways that looked like they were plowed out and ask the homeowner who they use for a Plow Jockey . I have no idea who the guy is or where he lives . I guess I am not the Good Samaritan ............If you live in Western NY , you have to be pro-active when it comes to the weather . You can't wait until you have a foot of snow in the driveway and then try to figure out how to get rid of it .

Damn Doc , 20 years on a pair of boots . That's some great service . Problem is , they don't make them like they used to .......

I am at the point where I would like to call it quits but ....... I might give it a try in Walworth tomorrow afternoon and then probably Geneseo on Tuesday . Tuesday is forecasted to have a heat wave of 31 degrees but there will be a wind chill factor . I might be better off working and making some money but I want to avoid being a failure during the regular hunting seasons . I guess I will just have to trudge through a foot+ of snow and give it a final try .

It is also illegal to possess shotgun shells loaded with slug or ball unless holding a valid license (including carcass tags ) or permit to take deer or bear .... -

I had considered going out this afternoon but changed my mind . I drove into Webster to get a few things . The roads were fair but some of the drivers on the "104 Corridor" were nuts . The right lane was traveling about 45 mph . Some dipsy lady was driving a bit below 40 mph in the left lane . Cars were driving around her to keep the traffic flow moving . It was worse on the way home . The roads had been plowed but it was still snowing and it was slushy & slippery . Saw a couple of accidents on the way home . We might go out to dinner tonight as it's only 1 1/2 miles away but I am not going to drive anywhere to hunt .

We had about 8" of snow overnight . I cleared the driveway with the Snow Blower and felt fairly comfortable doing it as it was 17 degrees out . Thought I might go to Walworth this afternoon to my friend's property and sit out for a bit . Weny out to get the mail at noon . When that freezing breeze hit me , I changed my mind real quick . It is presently 20 degrees out . DDDDDDDDDamn !

t_barb ..... the trigger throws me off . I have always been used to a firm trigger . I also have a Ruger LCP .380 ...... it's pull , pull , pull before feeling any resistance on the trigger and I hate that .

Would that require 2 tags ? lol
