Daylights burning & set yer clocks back: November Cawfee

[Delmonico]

I have one of the Mag-Lites with six D Cells, a bit heavy but is great for prowlin' around the farm at night.  With the kryton bulbs it will reflect off a stop sign a 1/4 mile away, you can light up a coyote out 200-300 yards away enough the other guy can get the cross hairs on it.  I've had it 25 years this spring, I carry it tucked beside me under the edge of the pick-up seat, never know when you may need a club flashlite.

They have a deal right now you buy a pair of Wolverine boots you get one of those little led ones, should see if they have any extras I could have.

Heck, yer wearin' that blazer. Somebody'll be hawkin' what I got at the next show. Get three. Drop one in each pocket then carry a two or three cell conventional Mag for bustin' heads when needed. My folks ain't allowed ta do that no more. Sure did werk good while it lasted.

I'm here ta tell ya that's a lot of light in a little package with the LED thing. But yer right, eighty is way too much.

Use to be more threat seenin a cop with a 4 cell Maglight, than one with a Model 12

[Ozark Tracker]

we've got 3 of them  LED lights that we use out in the turkey houses when we first get the birds in, we keep the lights off the first 5 days and nights.  they sure work good,  ours have the 3  AAA batteries, think they were $6  each down at the Bearing place.

got 3 of the Mag lights too but these LED are so small and handy, fits any pocket

[Arcey]

That's them, OT.

[litl rooster]

 The batteres must side  x side x side

[Ozark Tracker]

yeah, they are side by side by side    the only problem we had one of the lights, original batteries leaked, I took it all apart and cleaned out the acid and replaced the batteries nothing else, but if I got one I'd check and see if the bateries were little green batteries with chinese writing on em.

I'd change em out to some good ones 

[Arcey]

They're in a cylindrical carrier, side by side.

Mine had the batteries with funny stuff wrote on 'em but they hadn't leaked. The wimmen have theirs in the cars. Better tell 'em ta check.

When Susie was doin' security, she had a four-cell Mag lite. Nasty little noggin' knocker. Carried it in a belt ring probably meant for a night stick. She had a night stick too. She was a good officer, they just didn't appreciate what they had. Made it up to Sargent at a couple of posts she was on......................Buck

[Ozark Tracker]

DEAD CHICKENS' REVENGE!!!!!!!

20-mile long chicken fat spill ties up U.S. 13

A Perdue truck spilled chicken fat along a 20-mile stretch of U.S. 13 this morning causing several crashes and a big, smelly mess.

As far as Virginia State Police can tell, the spill started about 6 a.m. just north of Accomac and ended when the driver of the truck stopped at the scales at New Church, said Sgt. Joe Bunting of the state police.

Employees at the scales noticed the slippery, smelly substance leaking from the truck and notified the driver, Bunting said. 

Virginia Department of Transportation crews are sanding the road and had made several passes by 9 a.m., Bunting said.

"The Perdue people have remediation teams being mustered," Bunting said. "With each coat of sand, it's getting better and better, but it's going to take many coats of sand."

"It smells bad," Bunting said, adding that the cleanup effort could take most of the day.

A valve on the truck apparently was loose when the driver left the plant this morning, Bunting said.

"There was a window of time there when this truck is dropping his load and these people, they put their brakes on and it's like black ice," Bunting said.

One car hit a utility pole and the driver had to be taken to a hospital, Bunting said. At least three other vehicles crashed, but no one involved suffered life-threatening injuries. Other drivers probably skidded or went spinning on the slippery fat, then went on their way, he added.

The driver, who was headed to Maryland, was cited for failing to properly secure his load, Bunting said. After closing the valve on the truck while it was at the scales, he was allowed to leave.

"Had he not been intercepted at the scales, it would have been a bigger mystery," Bunting said.

Many of the drivers who slipped or skidded probably didn't realize what the substance was, Bunting said.

"Thank heavens, you know, the time of day that it was, that we were able to get on top of it," Bunting said. "VDOT got right out of here on top of it. Otherwise, it probably would have been a whole lot worse."

Mornin' Fellas,
Thanks for the Coffee. (It's good enough to capitilize this morning.)  

I'm up, got coffee on, who broke CaS-city, come on, someone fess up.   T'was a slow night at work, had to be there till 9 and no Cas-City.

It's no fun when you can't check and see what kind of trouble yer pards are getting into is it?  

We have some of those LED lights. They are great. WW and my Dad have one that straps over their baseball cap, or just on yer head. I don't think it would fit over a Cowboy hat but it might..would have to check it out. It's nice because it's hands free. WW uses it to work on the cars mostly, dad does his outside chores with it....wouldn't be no good for defending oneself unless you blind someone with it. We found it in a sportings good store. I'm thinking it's something the mountain climbers used at the time but we've had them for a while now. If I remember right they were around $20 or so.

Arcey were there alot of crazies on the road yesterday? I heard it was cyber monday and everyone was supposed to be shopping from their computers.  

Stay safe!

[Silver Creek Slim]

Mornin' pards. Thanks for the coffee, Sleep. We still have guests but they'll be leaving early Thursday. Maybe things will get back to normal. Although they're good to have around, it does take up a lot of our time. Well, off again. Talk to ya later on.
