I have two Hygroset II Digital Hygrometers.  The battery went dead in one of them, so I went onto Amazon and bought some cheap batteries at MYBATTERYSUPPLIER (4 for $2.25 total).  After I replaced the battery, I calibrated it by doing the salt test.  I tossed the 2nd hygrometer into the test also.  The 2nd hygrometer with the good battery was off by +8, YIKES...!  So my one humidor was running at 60rh rather than 68rh.  I guess that's not too big of a mistake, but it sure taught me to start testing my hygrometers about every 6 months.
With no more RadioShack, I guess that's where we're going to have to get all our non-standard batteries.
Batteries Plus Stores have about every battery ever made and employees that know WTF they are doing.  Great Stores!
Never heard of it.  Regional?

Real Clear Politics

When top level people look down, they see only shit-heads;
When the bottom level people look up, they see only assholes.
You will Never see another Flow Chart that describes politics so clearly

My wife said she found this produce at work called, "Spray Lube by Powerhouse."  It's made by Personal Care Products.  She took it to her supervisor, and they both assumed it was similar to KY-Jelly.  As my wife started reading off the features of the product, they both started laughing and thinking, "how could some one make a product like this..?  - Frees Sticking Mechanisms  - Works Free Rusted Parts  - Supresses Squeaks  - Blows Out Moisture.  So she bought a can and brought it home.  I said, "You Idiot, it's WD-40...!"  But I have to say, "the Chinese never included any thing on the can stating it's penetrating oil...!"  It only says, "not a produce of WD-40..."  So if you go into a drug store and pick this up near the condoms, it's not a personal lube..!

No, people in NJ just aren''t allowed to handle batteries.  You know, like at the gas stations.

Oops, went flaccid again.  None of the site links work, but interesting how the DoD is still tracking...something.
