Very nice gallery! It looks like it'd be a lot of fun to take that flight. I have GOT to get back to San Francisco again sometime soon.

Me too! I think Tim is hosting a weekend get-together for all of us soon. Since he lives on the scenic corridor and all, I figured it would be cool if we all camped out on his front lawn... tents and fire-pits required. I'll bring the s'mores and some cosmopolitans. We can do light painting with flashlights at night, and spend a couple of days walking around San Fran, and hit Bodega for the sunsets... and finally land up at a place like Hawk Hill for the night scenes of the bridge...

Thanks for putting it all together for us Tim... (I kid, I kid... lol.)

Now back to my cleaning... I'm sanitizing the entire toy room top to bottom today... the off to a BBQ where the men are having a "cook off" of their favorite kind of meat.. which means ribs, tri-tip, steaks, and who knows what else... (I'm sure there will be a margarita or two floating around too...and some home-made salsa to go with the tortilla chips! )

Now back to my cleaning...

When you're finished, how about coming over here and spiffing up my place a bit?

Who here uses Eneloops?

If so what charger do you use? I'm looking at the La Crosse BC700 and the Maha C9000. Trying to decide if the $50 Maha is worth the premium over the $32 LaCrosse.

I don't have any Eneloops, but I do have plenty of other brand name rechargeable batteries. The charger I use is a La Crosse BC900 I bought three or four years ago. I tried a few other AA and AAA chargers, and this one is by far the best I ever used.

I use mostly business envelopes when I send things out.

Sounds like it could be fun. Maybe I should attend the Sixth Annual Dwight & Marna POTN BBQ in Santa Barbara to learn how it's done?

We could call it the ---Annual Josephine & Sunny POTN BBQ ?

As long as you're careful where you pitch the tents and dig the firepit, I don't think Sunny and Josephine would mind sharing the pasture.

Ah, I ended up ordering the Maha. It seems to get raving reviews from well everywhere.

I went to the first couple Dwight & Marna BBQ's. They were a lot of fun.

No need to crowd out Sunny and Josephine, though. We can all pitch our tents in your kitchen. I've seen the pictures. There's plenty of room there...

I use 'em and I normally use a Maha MH C401FS charger on the slow cycle, at home. I've used Maha chargers for my amateur radio gear too. Good stuff.

I have a cheap compact Sanyo charger that I take with me in trips, or if I have to charge a bunch of batteries in a hurry, but fast charging is not the best way to recharge eneloops.

Ah yeah. I needed some batteries quick so I had picked up a 4 pack w/ charger from Amazon. Then picked up a 10 pack of AA's from Costco, just needed a new charger. I'll probably keep the Sanyo one in my bag for travel, but yeah I like the control you have with the Maha.

Okay...we can pitch the tents inside, but then Sally won't be able to cook or bake goodies for you.

So...ya want to eat well, or sleep inside? ... it's up to you...

I just have a Energizer rapid charger but then all my rechargeables are Nicad not Ni -MH.

Looks like that Maha charger is very similar to my La Crosse. The manual controls are very helpful. I had a bag full of old AA batteries that would no longer hold a charge, but after I bought the La Crosse I ran them in it on a slow cycle recondition charge. It took three or four days to completely recondition four at a time, but it made them all useable again.

She should be able to do all of that before we get there. We don't even have to set up sleeping quarters right away. We can wait until she's finished...
