    YardSale Find

    When I was a kid shivering in a cold duck blind in my Red Ball boots with a 16 gauge singleshot, I would swear to myself that as soon as I had the money I'd get one... but every time I walked into Sears I'd think "you know, the cold wasn't all that bad... I should spend the money on more shells". Now I live in Florida and certainly don't need it, but.... only about 50 years late.

    Ha, I still have my Jonee handwarmer, but never use it. I guess I've gotten used to dealing with the cold.

    I just moved to Mississippi. I rarely is below 45 deer hunting, and that's early in the morning. One year I hunted in shorts.

    beezapilot, you say that but you never know. I am south of you but still love my heated grips on the motorcycle on cool mornings. 40 plus years of turning wrenches for a living will do that to your hands. It's a cool thing to have and it looks like you found one in near pristine condition.

    I've fallen asleep and burned myself with those, I have some here.
    They smell like a lighter burning too. I use the charcoal ones first or the iron oxide ones.

    still have mine - also they made a belt that held two of them over lower back for added warmth on the deer stand - had a friend claim that his set off a .22 in pocket with his Jonee -
    never pick a fight with an old man - if he is too old to fight he will just kill you -

    Ain't tat the truth. I just flipped a Crosman 600 pistol I found when I stopped by chance on my way home from the library.
