Note that ERs and ORs are generally well lighted locations. i dare say Romania has treated victims in less well lit spots. I know I have. Being able to see is a very good idea, especially when both hands are busy, conducting an exam, staunching th

Today I added the dental kit. https://www.chinookmed.com/01350/dental-tmm-de.html I believe my main medical kit is as comprehensive as it can be for its size. Several of you have made a case for a headlamp; for now, I don't see it. Maybe later. J

The '80s also gave us the Signals album from Rush. Subdivisions. New World Man. The Analog Kid. I wore out this album -- on 8-track and cassette. It said what I felt growing up in those times. Rest well, Neil Peart, and my heartfelt thanks.

Did my 'research' - thank goodness for the internet! To get the coordinates on smartphone map apps you just have to pick a spot and put a 'pin' on it (usually just touch the map spot for a bit and the pin will come up). The information is then list

I have an old Magellan Meridian Plus and it uses positive numbers. I've got a GPS in our 2008 Prius and it uses positive numbers for input. I looked at my iPhone (11) and none of the three map apps had an option for longitude/latitude entry. They

For those of you who use car and handheld GPS units: For a North American location, does your system ask you to enter longitude as a negative number (-xx.xxx), or as a positive number with the West designation (xx.xxx W)? I'm writing a guidebook fo

Born in 65, so 80s were late high school, college, and beginnings of career. Good times, good music, etc. Had to know what you were doing to use a computer, command line only and few GUIs. But for all the 70s and 80s joys, I like the tech advances

I like replaceable batteries because they are really quick to swap out, but if time is not a factor, the power bank + solar panel option is a good one.

NiMH batteries also perform best when exercised on occasion. A few full charge and discharge cycles helps restore their full capacity.

I have never had an Eneloops go completely dead on me while in storage, but I have exhausted a few in service. I have charged them right up, both with solar panels and 120 AC. I keep several NiMHs on hand, nominally fully charged. When I go out o

I just did some recharging today after seeing this thread. It had been several months (6+ probably). I was surprised to find that my LiION's had held their charge slightly better than my Eneloop NiMH's. I would have expected just the opposite. I
