The most notable characteristic of the Ruffed Grouse isn't how they looks -- it's how they sound. In the spring and a little in the fall, the male ruffed grouse beats the air with his wings to make a loud drumming sound.
expired test strips are NOT reliable. most strips have an expiry date over 2 years from the date of manufacture...... that's a long time for them to be 'sitting around'. as for e-bay........
Third, protect your test strips. Blood glucose monitor test strips are sealed in packs and vials. Keep the ones you are not using in their original packages. Never leave a vial or package open to the air. Humidity can make test strips unusable, as can direct sunlight.
