Sounds about right.  There is a plug-in place for a headset, but I've
never used it...

 NB>> Makes perfect sense to me.  As to the battery, there IS a shop in town
 NB>> that sells all sorts of batteries, even obsoleteish ones...  I've been
 NB>> there before when I needed one that I couldn't get at the Shack...
 NB>> Hopefully they'll be able to keep my phone from becoming totally
 NB>> useless...  (G)

 DD> I have a nice battery shop nearly "around the corner" (within 6
 DD> blocks) from my tin-can. I buy AA and AAA batteries there for 45c ea.
 DD> Made in Germany - NOT in China. Bought the battery for my motorcycle
 DD> there. Auto Zone wanted $95+ for one. Get mine at Rex Battery for $36
 DD> (tax and all). A-Z brags that they will price match - but, they

Why am I not surprised...?  (G)   That might even be below their cost,
at least by the time it gets to the store level...  ;)

I saw that.  :)
 
 NB>> the Yukon Gold...  :)  Worked out quite well.  :)  With all the other
 NB>> food at the picnic, even serving it on Saturday night, we didn't need
 NB>> to double the recipe, just cut the leg quarters into backs, drums and
 NB>> thighs... had plenty to go around.  :)  And you had a presence there
 NB>> at the picnic, even in absentia...  :)

 DD> Which reminds me - I have a container of my basic rub here I need to
 DD> send to Dale ... along with a bottle of Ralph's Righteous Habanero
 DD> Sauce for his son, Brian. I'll get it done before the snow flies. I
 DD> hope. 

Especially if Life doesn't interfere too much with plans...  ;)

 NB>> In other circumstances, I'd've done the same... either leave intact or
 NB>> at least leave the backbone etc with the thighs... the best part of
 NB>> it... (G)  In this case, the cooks got the liverish portion, doubled...
 NB>> Michael and I each took two back pieces, everyone else got a choice of
 NB>> a leg or a thigh... worked out pretty even... :)  IIRC, there was one
 NB>> piece left over, along with some of the potatoes and onions...

 DD> Nice snack for someone.   Bv)=

Quite so...  dunno who might have got it, maybe Shipps after we left...
if we hadn't had so much other food to eat, I might have gone back for
it, but, it was a picnic, after all...  ;)

... On the other hand, you have different fingers.
