took off hunting at2.30 this evening when I got to my hunting place 2 big long beards were already on the field...I finally got me a hiding place but the big boys would not come to my calls...they left the field and I dib not see them anymore...about 6.00 2 more big turkeys flew across a creek and came toward me but for some reason they flew back across the creek...then at 6.20 a lone jake came by me headed to were the other turkeys had crossed the creek...I eased out of there and come to the house...gona try getting up early and be set up to hunt by daylight....charlie

got up at 4.30 in the woods at my blind by 5.15..2 gobblers were really telling the news...they were about 200 yards from me...at daylight both gobblers flew down and headed away from me I figured they had hens with them...after about an hour had past with them gobbling every ten minutes or so ...I started calling to the gobblers only one answered me I believe he was a quarter of a mile away...the other gobbler was almost out of hearing by now...the closest gobbler had started coming closer after about an hour passed by he had come close to me then I seen him step out of the woods he was at 30 yards..i raised up the parker 10 ga hammerless and fired the left barrel...could not believe it I cleanly missed this turkey...he ran into the woods doing 90....I waited about 20 minutes and yelped on my call...at about 100 yards that same turkey came into the field again he stayed about 5 minutes and went back into the woods...the other gobbler never showed...been a long time since I missed a turkey but it happened today...got to try again tomorrow.....will try the 8 ga. next week....charlie

Charlie: I am sitting on the throne one one morning and I hear this Beep, beep, beep and wonder what the hell is that and where is it coming from. Next morning the same thing and I finally realize its coming from me.... Yea my battery warning. So, I call my electronics guy and he calls me back and they run a remote. He tells me I have a good 30 days left on the battery and we schedule a replacement for the generator..... Replacement goes as planned and all is well.

I suspect yours will tell you when its time.... Aint modern medicine amazing...

When your defribulator goes off make sure nobody is touching you at the time.
My brother in law has one and he operates heavy machinery. He was operating a loader when his went off successively. His boss saw him in trouble and climbed up to help him and he was trying to get my BIL out of the cab when it went off again... knocked the boss right off the machine.
