What was that elephant hunt movie where the hunter's alarm went off on his watch and the elephant charged and trampled him?

You don't have time to be deer hunting. All those machines are waiting for you to restore. :laugh:

Be careful with technology. As a Soldier I have seen what happens as technology evolves and how people become dependent on it. I know Soldiers now that can not navigate without a GPS. And a map, I just sit and laugh as they try to figure out where they are and where they are going.

And get this,

Recently a friend of mine had difficulty finding the hotel we were staying in down at the beach. The program they were using didn't have the road we were on programed in it. And this road has been there for decades. And you know what my friend said to me. "You obviously don't have any idea of where you are at, Give me the name of the hotel so I can call reception and talk to them." Eventually I had to meet my friend at a location five miles from the hotel and I showed him on a map where we were staying, and the road is clearly identified on it.

I was going into the woods today but will be there tomorrow ! ! !
I use a plain old compass most of the time, along with a few bright-eyes/ribbon to guide my way...

Good Luck John!

Another thing I found, txt will work when I'm waaayy out somewhere and the phone call won't!
