Just remember to charge up the battery every 4 months or so just to make sure it's healthy.

Happy early birthday.

Yes, I hate doing taxes. I would rather just give them every penny I have except what I need to buy some lentils. And maybe an egg once a week. They need the money to flush it down the toilet of government spending.

Mornin all.

My spotlight died.
Bought a Dewalt one to compliment (use) the *20v lithium batteries for the drill.
Charge it about once a month using it nightly.
Previous light was about every other day. But it was a hundred yard light vs ten feet. l.o.l..

A browning headlamp I'd buy another of if I encountered such.
Works fine for hunting to and from and on stand.
A Phenix rides the belt for tracking after dark if needed .
A far cry from the old minimags used when my eyes were better. And they ate batteries like candy. And bulbs...

Run time on the headlamps matter. I've a couple in rotation around the house , but that old Browning wins hands down. Though it lacks a lock on the switch and has been bumped on in a hunting coat pocket a couple times..

Hey -Do P.J.!

Jumper cables from a seperate battery attempt to fool the charger has the plow trucks battery up to half a charge.
Pulled cables after it was charging a couple minutes.
The other battery as mentioned having 25% charge to start the process. Yes , it's a tired battery.
The truck battery was new last November or I'd just replace it.

High wind today. Rained most of yesterday. Should be dry today.
Now a cool trend sets in a while , with rain tomorrow maybe.

I had a electronic engineer working for me. He could depower a battery, then recharge it back like a new one.
Amazing actually.
4 or 5 patents.
Invented inverters and charging systems.
He Invented a battery charger that the two leads were universal pos/neg didn't matter.
Great mind, kind of like the mad scientist nerd that discovered crack at 40 yrs old.

Shusshhh. I think so but crash is sensitive about hogs you know. He is an Arkansas razorback.

Feral hogs are fair game any where,any time.Damn things are a plain nuisance down here,tear up folks gardens,eat up acres of corn at a time.Impossible to shoot out as they bear 2 for every one you shoot.Wild as a haint,nocturnal,hide during the day. They,re real good eating though,especially a young shoat. Razorbacks are a different breed altogether,damn near bullet proof and mean too.You gotta be a real manly man to go after one of those,not many do! Can,t even get someone to "VOLUNTEER" to go after one,if you get my drift

I am scared of everything and everyone from Arkansas. I am even afraid to say Arkansas out loud. Everything there is like wampus cats on steroids.

My son is a CPA.Send him all my junk and he figures it out. I,m still waiting for them to refund all the money I spent to send him to college since they,re gonna cancel everyone else,s college loan debt. I didn,t take any loans,neither did he.Got out of college debt free.

Well I went to write air ticket for my truck licence. 30 miles to the city, get there, line up wait....
To find out the Dr ticked a pre-existing lung condition-sorry we have to send it to Toronto.
Mail bag goes out next Wed. takes another 2 weeks at least.
Then they'll send you the letter-then you can write it.
Well the licence expires tomorrow-oh you have to go to a Service Ontario
So that cost $90 for a new downgraded licence.
By the time I get this thing back I will have burned 250 miles on the odometer
Got to just shake the head at anything run by the system.

Well I found out why the headlamp quit working. The ground wire broke off the circuit board.
Now the thought cap comes out, and blue air explosions 🤣
