To begin with if the vehicle started, once it did you should be able to unhook the battery and the vehicle should remain running because it runs off the alternator voltage and not the battery voltage. The battery is only designed to store energy to operate things such as the starter and things that do not require the motor running.

Yea, I'm glad you got to spend that time with your father for sure. As far as those kids from Curacao, they still have a lot to be proud of. They are the only team in Little League history to take down Japan and Korea both in one world series.

I got to talk to the friend I grew up with that still lives in Illinois yesterday for about an hour and he told me things about Illinois that raised the hair on the back of my neck. He said they passed a law up there a few years back that pertained to hunting. He said that if a hunter gets caught hunting over any kind of bait the fine is $10,000.00 dollars and loss of hunting privileges for life. He as his 2 sons were preparing their fields for the up coming Dove season and because they didn't get the wheat cut soon enough to make it not bait they won't be able to hunt the fields they worked on all summer. In order to have been able to hunt them they would have had to cut them in Mid July. They cut them the 2nd week of August. He said he talked with a Game Warden about it and he said that if it were him he would not take the chance to hunt the fields. My buddy said they had tons of birds coming to the fields too. He said now they are going to ahve to drive down to Southern Illinois to a family farm that has sunflower fields to hunt and the sun flower fields were harvested and cut on July 1st and still have a lot of birds. He said they used a machine called a duster that chops the seed into almost a powder that packs in chunks all over the field. The Game Warden down there has checked those fields and was also there when they cut the fields and has already passed the fields legal for hunting Doves on September 1st. That is crazy if you ask me! Sure glad I have not lived up there since 1967. He said I would not recognise our small hometown any longer as it is part of Chicago now even though it is only 2 miles from the Will County line.

I'm glad you got to attend the LLWS and really glad you got to do it with your Father. That was a double whammy right there. They did finally put all the playoff games on TV so I was able to get to see the games on Saturday and Sunday. Those boys from River ridge didn't show those boys from Cuaracoa any mercy at all. That little pitcher from River Ridge pitched the entire game in 89 pitches which is 4 over the allowed limit of 85 but they checked with the coach from Cuaracoa and he waived off to allow the boy to finish the last batter. That is really great sportsmanship right there. Evidently they have moved the distance to the wall from home plate because there was not as many homeruns hit this year as there has been in the previous years.

Yea I know PJ. The only reason my son can afford it is because the division Logan is in is one of the smaller ones. They play most of the games locally within 50 miles of the house or less. Sometimes Logan is able to ride with one of the other parents that is going and then the next time Ronnie will take that boy and Logan. They all kinda work together to make it work for the kids.

You can bet there is a lot of sacrifices in many families for these kids. I know my grandson Logan plays and has one more year before he is to old and my son Ronnie told me it cost him almost a $1000.00 for Logan to play per year between equipment and travel to away games. Those 3 games I got to see were fantastic. Those boys from River Ridge Louisiana definately came to play ball for sure. After losing their first came they went all the way and won the Championship. The team they beat for the Championship was from the Island of Cuaracao and that team was the only team in LLWS history to ever beat Japan and Korea in the same World Series. That was the first trip for the boys from River Ridge and Cuaracoa had won it 4 previous times over the years. I'm not much on grown up baseball but I love watching the sportsmanship and all the heart those kids put in the games when they play................JMHO

"""Not an original thought, but if the rank and file, law abiding gun owners were the problem, don't you think we'd be in the news by now?"""" Once in a while a regular Joe makes news when some news network that is out of junk to talk about. Then a regular good guy with a gun will make the news for shooting a bad guy with a gun but you can bet the reporter is holding their nose while they type the article. The dang sure don't want news like that everyday on the front page. All the anti-gunners would ahve to find something else to do for a living besides politic against guns. You also mentioned the bad guys and how many of them get their guns to begin with. You listed a pretty good list. When a gun is stolen from an unlocked vehicle that a good guy was stupid enough to leave unsecured in their own driveway at home and allowed that to happen in many ways is as guilty as the thief that took it. As far as the so-called Weapons of War that bad guys have, I would say many of them came from the black market or someone that is selling one privately and not asking for all the information such as Carry Permit, DL, signed bill of sale and anything else they can get before the gun changes hands. I think it is a fact, if a maniac wants to do a mass shooting they will find a way to do it to get the hardware in which to carry it out.............JMHO.

Well I finally got to watch two of the play off games today and will get to see the championship game tomorrow. Got to see two great games today!!!!

I think the police should have every piece of equipment they can lay their hands on to do their job and go home safe every night!!!

"Regardless of what you think will happen in Tennessee; please go vote". Oh believe me my friend, that is one Constitutional Right I never fail to use to it's fullest extent. I do vote, most times in early voting. I saw on the news yesterday where the officers went to serve a warrant and it ended up with a standoff and shots fired the police finally drove and Armored vehicle into the house and set off two smoke bombs and took the two people into custody with not further incidents. That is an example of officers possibly needing to know ahead of time what they may be walking into..............JMHO

I have come to the conclusion that the Federal Government employee in the law enforcement don't feel they are breaking any laws till they get caught. Comey is a prime example of that. There is not any doubt in my mind that there are states that have a private registry on gun purchases. States like California and New York and several other states up in the East Coast in New England. I heard a police officer one time on the news say it sure would be nice when we go to serve a warrant what we might be going up against before we get there. I can see his point to a point but if he is that worried about doing his job he need to find work doing something else. If a law enforcement officer is going out to serve a warrant on someone it is not a warrant for attending Sunday School at the local church so all I can say is go prepared for the worst and hope for the best. .................JMHO

So evidently the Authorities have been able to prevent 3 or 4 mass shootings according to the news networks. Some because people spoke up and others because the future shooters posted something on Facebook or another Blog and authorities saw it and arrested the Perp and found he had a stash of weapons and ammo. I will not say I am happy they were able to get these people before they could carry out their plans because I am thrilled about it. I wish they could stop a lot more than they do. My question to folks here is how many of them really would have gone through with their plans and how many were just seeking notority and attention and that is why they shared their plans with friends knowing that the friends would tell someone that could stop them before they could carry out their plans. The authorities have said over and over that there are always some kind of warning signs before mass shootings but to many times people either don't see them till it's to late or they just don't speak up??

I like many view the UBC's as nothing more than a backdoor gun registry but how many here don't think that every time a person buys a gun from a gun dealer and goes through all the back ground checks and does everything by the book that the record of that purchased has not already been put in a registry right then in some Federal computer somewhere anyway? I would be willing to bet there is a secret registery somewhere and has been probably at least since Columbine and maybe earlier. I know they didn't have that kind of capability when Charles Whitman shot all those people in 1966 but things have changed a lot since those days. If a day ever comes that they do go after a legal gun owner that all at once comes up on the Fed radar as a possible furure mass shooter and they raid the persons home with a list of firearms they are looking for, what happens when they are looking for 15 guns but he only has 10. That would pretty much prove there is a registry somewhere huh?.............JMHO

I don't have a dog in this race for sure but it seems to mostly revolve around the parking lot mostly. I would first look at the area in which your business is located. Is it a normally pretty safe place/neigborhood and does it have regular patrols by local LEO's? If it is not a really safe neighorhood and could be iffy I would leave the decision up to the employee whether they want to carry a weapon from their vehicle to the work place. I have always felt it is better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6 and if the neighborhood does require one to carry a weapon in the parking lot that would be their decision. As most have pointed out the best option would be for them to attend a class and get a permit and that would eliminate all the What If's?.............JMHO

I just went and checked and they renew on July 5th and to date I still have 8.3 out of 10 left and I have been on the computer more this month than normal. I seldom ever use 2 per month.

Hi Dave, I am still using indoor antennas but hope to have an out door one soon. As far as internet I have been using go phone from AT&T for several years and I have 10 GB to work with and I seldom ever use more that 2 regardless how much I am on the computer so I always have 8+ going to waste but then better to much than not enough.

Thanks and I have been keeping my living room TV on ABC all day from morning till night and not seen a game yet but will keep trying...... Glad you got to go and see it live and hope your Father is also enjoying seeing you and the games! I think the problem may be the local station networking. The ABC channel I get is WKRN/Channel 2 and ABC has a whole lineup of stations and WKRN may just not be one that is showing the games.

That is exactly what these bills/laws will do more and more times. If the Sheriff would have done even a little investigation before just telling the guy to turn in his guns the sheriff could have went to the judge with the proof they had served the orders on the wrong man and then focused on arresting the real bad guy instead of leaving the bad guy walk. Just a poor job of the sheriff doing the right thing........JMHO

I'm sure as more of these bills get signed we all will be reading more horror stories very much like this one..........JMHO

I will keep watching it and maybe they will have a night game on or have some on tomorrow.

Well the reason I had it on ABC is it's one of the only channels I can get here in NO MANS LAND..............lol.

I thought some where suppose to be also but I have had ABC on all day and not seen any games yet............

Back in my younger days I thought about going hog hunting. That was until my little brother went. This was back when Catoosa had hog hunts and my brother went with a couple other guys and a guide with dogs. My brother Cory was using a Blackhawk 44 mag and he did kill a hog. It to was also a head shot. Thing is it was a head shot from directly above the hog that sent my little brother up a tree and he had to shoot the hog while hanging above it in the tree. That was enough to change my mind about hunting hogs...........

I agree with you Mac, there is always a few people wantin to ruin a nice thing for the many. The fair is suppose to be a fun time for people of all ages but some people just can;t let it happen without trying to mess it up for all.....JMHO

Prayers being sent as I type this...........
