Oh, I'm just a typical American boy from a typical American town
I believe in God and Senator Dodd and a-keepin' old Castro down
And when it came my time to serve I knew "better dead than red"
But when I got to my old draft board, buddy, this is what I said:
Sarge, I'm only eighteen, I got a ruptured spleen
And I always carry a purse
I got eyes like a bat, and my feet are flat, and my asthma's getting worse
Yes, think of my career, my sweetheart dear, and my poor old invalid aunt
Besides, I ain't no fool, I'm a-goin' to school
And I'm working in a DEE-fense plant
"It’s pretty common knowledge among the turkey-hunting fraternity that in New York, as well as several other states, the “good old days” are no longer."
"And those days, when turkey numbers were at their zenith and it seemed like we always had gobbling longboards to play with, weren’t really so long ago. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, turkey numbers were at their highest, and it was a rare spring morning when we didn’t have some talkative toms to keep our adrenaline running."
"Not so these days. Last spring’s harvest in New York was the lowest since the early 1990s, and with back-to-back years of poor turkey production (a product of lousy weather during the nesting and brood-rearing periods), things aren’t likely to get better any time soon. Sure, we’ll still be out there, and about 20,000 toms will be tagged this spring – maybe fewer. But it’s clear turkey hunting isn’t nearly what it once was in New York state."
A lot of projects uses 555 Timer Chips. I saw you can get 20 of them for 71 cents including shipping direct from China on AliExpress. Or 51 cents once the sale starts in two days. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Original-Texas-Instruments-TI-NE555P-programmable-timer-integrated-circuit-and-oscillator-HYC-3253-h-DIP-8/32308116026.html
"The 555 timer IC is an integrated circuit (chip) used in a variety of timer, pulse generation, and oscillator applications. The 555 can be used to provide time delays, as an oscillator, and as a flip-flop element. Derivatives provide two (556) or four (558) timing circuits in one package. Introduced in 1972 by Signetics, the 555 is still in widespread use due to its low price, ease of use, and stability. It is now made by many companies in the original bipolar and in low-power CMOS technologies. As of 2003, it was estimated that 1 billion units were manufactured every year.[5] The 555 is the most popular integrated circuit ever manufactured."
