hillbilly, i know what you mean about those garmins. they sure are neat. i dont have one yet, but it sure gives me a sense of comfort at least to know what he is doing and where. i still run skeet old school when i can. my light broke so i take a flashlight and just putting my ear to the wind. i will have a garmin one day, but i think that it will out smart me,lol. i cant even figure out the dvr and the remote for the tv. smiles.

hillbilly, christmas was good and eventful,lol.
i cant figure out what the problem was with the light. battery was charging, it was warm to touch but no light. maybe it is the switch or something. makes me upset cause it's only 6 months old. oh well.
glad to hear you are feeling better. i have been so close to west va. and in it in the last couple months i shouldve brought skeet down to the big hills. if i have another road trip i will get ahold of you. skeet really needs to run.

i was just in logan, ohio. beautiful country. i have been thinkin on movin down to the ohio border next year.
