Doc says I got about 5 years on my pacemaker before it needs to be replaced. Banana bread with vanilla ice cream and sweet ice tea fer them that want some. Lawns in good shape, nobody's been on it! Carlos Murphy Carlos, I got 8 years out of my first PM/ICD. One night SWMBO says “What’s that beeping noise?” I don’t know I’m deaf. Next night same sound. She says “It’s you, your beeping!” Went to the Doc, he says “Yep, batteries just about shot.” “ You have about three months left before they go completely.” “We’ll replace the whole thing, new tech is better now.” “ Oh, do you want me to turn off the beep?” Well yeah, who wants to wake up beeping in the middle of the night? At least this time he tested the new one while I was out on the table. The first Doc installed it while I was awake and then says, without explanation, “I’m going to tickle your heart, OK?” Like grabbing a 240 volt wire, without notice!! Believe me I know, I was an EM3 in the Navy. Keep the the Faith! Cactus Jack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Raining here in Ottawa. Looks like it may be one of "those" summers around here: Cool and wet. No matches until July 5, then off to Cornwall and Ruff's Regulators. Now get off the lawn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again on the first week in April for the same thing. Three weeks later went in for a regular check to find one lead was emitting too strong a single that would shorten the life of the battery so they shut down that lead. Wonder whats next....... I told them to stop buying these things from WalMart, if they bought them from EBAY in bulk they would get free shipping. Carlos Murphy Lawns good , fer now!

Cactus Jack Calder Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Carlos, Good luck with those lead thingies. Hope they get them fixed. I believe I’m still using the originals. Guess I’m lucky. The first PM Dr asked me if I hunted. Installed it on my left side so a long gun wouldn’t pound it. He was a thinker, paying attention to patient needs. I never would have thought to say anything until it was too late. The second one who replaced the PM with an ICD was the one who jolted me. I think they had to install a third lead as the ICD needs three (not 100% sure of that). The third Dr replaced the ICD when the battery ran down did a good job., no jolt. Lawns drying up. The town sprayed the lake for water weeds. No irrigation for 1.5 weeks or no lawn at all. Cactus Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Murphy # 873 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Never fear cuz I is here. Just re-o-lized this year is my 30th anniversary with SASS, wheres my silver bullet? My first big shoot was was BOOMTOWN in Santa Clarita, Ca. VERY HOT! There was a wedding during lunch, we all stood in a circle and fired our shotguns in the air after the I do's. There was a buck skinner there with a donkey, the donkey carried his guns and other equipment and was VERY mellow because so many people were petting him all the time. Lawns green, nobody's on it. Drinking tomato juice and listing to Rush on the radio. Carlos Murphy SASS 873 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Murphy # 873 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Bought a new toy, to shoot in the house..... On a whim I bought a ASL AR-15 Air Soft rifle. What a kick in the shorts to shoot in the house into a pellet trap I made and using Shoot n See targets. I put a red dot on it and shooting at 18 yards in the house and hitting the bulls eye every time and when I flip her to FULL AUTO she just shreds the target. Its electric powered and the mag holds 350 rounds and if I were to hand the rifle to you you would swear its the real thing. Ammo is REAL cheap AND..... reusable.
