Well i just realized I'd left my camera in the truck for 4 days in sub-zero temps. It fired up ok , but a dumb thing to do . Security wise,,not overly bright neither! I like to tell people i,am not getting older I,am just getting wiser! Might have to reassess those words!

Knew a girl a long while ago that put the gel packs of her padded bra in the microwave for 30 seconds just to take chill off things.;-)a


Photography was my second choice for a hobby.
Water skiing was my first,but I couldn't find a lake with a slope.

It would appear that some folks are skipping their meds.

I get the feeling that you'll do that again? ; )
So before you take it inside, put it in a plastic bag & let it warm up for a few hours.

°F or °C?

i've done it around freezing, and honestly didn't really worry about it. Just left it in the bag for a few hours while it warmed up.

here's a nice trick:

When you did that, didn't it make the rice taste like plastic?

Incidentally, I ran across this today: How to Rescue a Wet Phone
http://askbobrankin.co​m …1bYN&awt_m=K5vK​3Vme0uP6SL (external link)

You've probably heard that the best thing to do with a phone after it's been dunked is to put it in a sealed container with uncooked rice. Gazelle, a company that buys and resells used electronics, tested various drying agents on phones that had been submerged in water. What they found was that "Dry, uncooked conventional rice was the worst of the seven options tested. It absorbed the least water in 24 hours, losing out to silica gel, cat litter, couscous, instant oatmeal, classic oatmeal and instant rice."
