Fly Swatter
Some skeptic might say this post is a tad off topic, but since many of
us spend quite a bit of time outdoors by our cookers, I can justify mentioning it here. Harbor Freight is having a sale on their electric fly swatters. For $2.98, you can't go wrong. The suckers will pop a fly, bee, wasp or other flying critter as well as a big bug zapper. If you have a Harbor Freight store anywhere near, I suggest you get several. They make great Christmas presents. -- ---Nonnymus--- In the periodic table, as in politics, the unstable elements tend to hang out on the far left, with some to the right as well.

Do they work on people, too? See my response to Nonnymus. Looks like it'd be fun on lightning bugs. I thought of that, but never got to try it. I can't find my zapper. See my response to Nonnymus. :-( BOB

May I also add that you should never pick one up by the grid right after using it. It takes the bleed down resistor a bit of time to discharge it. I speak from experience on this. FWIW, when I was a kid my Dad gave me an old neon sign transformer. That sucker could lay out a magnificent arc and made a really cool Jacob's Ladder- type of toy. I learned from experience that you don't touch the secondary lead with a graphite pencil in your hand. -- ---Nonnymus--- In the periodic table, as in politics, the unstable elements tend to hang out on the far left, with some to the right as well.
