Amen OBG, worth repeating
Good Morning, Dearest.
Is your Avatar a picture of your Dad?

Morning VG!
No, I wish it was; it was the closest I could find to what he did though
Just be lurking on and off until way later unless things change. Woke up with a bit of a headache, and I got GD coming in a few hours so need quiet and some pain killers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cadeau is starting to hide behind things and jump out at me when I come through a door. I don't let her go into the kitchen (or the back half of the house), and when I come back through that kitchen swinging door, she's hiding behind things. She started that arched back, hair and tail up, sideways creepy crawl thing with me, so I played chase with her enough for her to know it was just Playing and that I wasn't going to hurt her, always calling her out of hiding and petting her (she always comes when I call her). So she's playing more back. She's not actually jumping out yet enough to grab me, just testing now, but she'll be getting there. It's fun playing with her.
Good afternoon Beach(ers)
Hello Stoney,
I've been meaning to tell you about a Li-Ion/LiMn Battery Tester I made. I was given the schematic and calculation formula in reply to a question in Ask the Vets. If you're into electronics and would like to build one, it's a very simple circuit that uses one 3Ω 5W Resistor and a Switch. You can do the calculation manually for each battery, or put it in a Spreadsheet column for all of your batteries. You measure the Voltage of a battery without the load, and then with the load, and enter those numbers into the formula. The calculation determines the Battery's Internal Resistance, and rates the overall battery condition as Excellent, Good, Marginal, Poor, and Fail (Replace it).
I tested all of my batteries today, and they are all either Excellent or Good. I was surprised to see that.
Thanks for the Veteran's Day wishes. I'm a Viet Nam Era Vet.
Thanks for your service and I'm glad you made it throughHello Stoney,

I don't yet have the skillz to make electronic things . . . but one day I hope to learn them

I was the last Company through Boot Camp to qualify as Viet Nam Era. I joined the Navy to keep from being Drafted into the Army right out of High School. My time was a piece of cake compared to those Army guys. They are the Heroes... them and the Marines.Would you like to be able to test your batteries? I built mine into a little plastic case I had. All I had to buy was the Resistor because I had everything else. You'd need a Voltmeter. If you don't have one, you can get one from Harbor Freight for about $5.00. The Resistor and Switch would be less that $10.00, and a little case should be less than $5.00. You could also have a little built-in Voltmeter, like Steel Jan uses in the VV Mods. I could build one for you. You'd only pay for the Parts I'd have to purchase, and the S&H.
I'd say in the $20 ballpark, because Voltmeter doesn't cost much... $7.00 at Madvapes, but out of stock. I could get it elsewhere. That is, about $20 for the parts, plus S&H for that meter if you want the little built-in one. Otherwise, less than $15 prolly. The Handheld Voltmeter at Harbor Freight is cheaper and has more functions, including Ohms, but it would be up to you.
Afternoon, beachers. All I can say is - Rats!
Lucy...I'm Hooo-ooome.
Hello Mon Cher.
Sorry 'bout the snow. Makes you want a nice crackling fire in the fireplace, huh?

That's my thought on it too.
I think you'll get more than we do.
Late afternoon hi.
I'm buying one of my own Xmas present from Amazon. I will be so surprised when I unwrap it!!
I've got in in my cart and since I'm getting free shipping, I'm looking around to see what else I can find. They don't have much in baby toys!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will be in and out until supper.
Hey Beach Friends,
That Battery Tester offer goes to each of you, if you want one.
Mine just has bare wires for the (+) and (-) connections to a battery. This makes it very easy to test any size battery, from 18xxx to 14xxx, or any other size you may want to test (this is for Li-Ion and Li-Mn Rechargeables only). Using it is very simple. You turn your Voltmeter On (if you don't have the one built-in) and connect it to the Tester's Voltage Reading Terminals (I use Clip Connectors so they stay put). Then hold the Tester's Battery Wires to the Battery with two fingers of one hand, and take a reading with the switch Off. Don't worry, it will not shock you!!! This is the Battery Voltage without a Load. I enter it into a Spreadsheet at that time. Then flip the switch On with the other hand and take the Under-Load reading. You only need to keep the Load "On" for a very few seconds and turn the switch back Off. Enter that number into the Spreadsheet and do the next battery. The Spreadsheet automatically calculates the formula for you.
