Very nice countryside you've got there STA. Not sure if you're a hunter, but if so, seems like a great place to do so.

Somebody also feels its a great place to hunt since they put a deer stand on it! Id take that thing down and leave a note that says, "thanks for the free deer stand!" from property owner who didnt give you permission to put it on my property...." haha!

Look around some more, you may find a deer feeder as well, IF they can be used in Ark.

Likely put up by the prior owner of the property, IIRC STA and his DW haven't owned it all that long.

All,
We just got back from visiting family for Christmas. We had a good time. As is obvious for most folks here, the only white part of Christmas was the back side of the wrapping paper. No snow in sight!
Really foggy and cool here at home. Heavy rain forecast for tonight, so tomorrow will be soggy. Not sure what we will do. Maybe we can go back over to the deer stand and see how much water the little streams have in them. I also need to do some repairs to the Gator -- the roof is loose where I scraped hard against a tree on the left side, and the right front headlight housing is loose where I banged it into a tree. I think I repair all of those problems.
Now to a more long term problem: it seems that the Lithium batteries for the 20V Dewalt portable equipment run down more quickly than they did when I first got them back in May or June. I know Lithium batteries eventually stop holding a charge as well compared to when they were new, but I figured that would not happen for a couple of years. 6-7 months seems a bit soon. What experience have you folks had with Lithium batteries and their lifetimes?

I imagine it depends on how often you use them and maybe how often you run them to "empty" before recharging. I agree that 6-7 months does seem short and a couple of years is more reasonable.

Make sure when you re-charge them, you recharge to fully.

I have had mine for 4 years and see a shorter time of usage for the batteries.
