that is what happened last night, they checked each other and then they told me when they made entry and i gave them a bench mark every ten minutes and they lasted 25, i was floored by this, not only did they do it once but twice, i do love my guys, and i would not trade them for anyone and what makes it even better is that they are volunteers. VOLUNTEERS RULE
