Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to
beat you to death with it because it is empty.
The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.

Paul Harvey turned me onto another way to get more juice from a battery....when the performance fails, remove the batts and tap the positive ends together smartly....you compress the inner whatchamajiggers and get about 15% more batt life...:D
Seems to work in my safety-muff radio...."I Have Sworn Upon the Altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." -Thomas Jefferson
"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves, in the course of time, a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." -Frederic Bastiat

I've noticed when using batteries, they become slightly warm. You can extend the life of batteries by placing them in the fridge after use, quickly cooling them."Reject the basic assumptions of civilization, especially the importance of material possessions."
