    Just a friendly reminder to check and replace your batteries on your MPUs. I realized it has been almost 2.5 years since I had wholesale changed the batteries in my games. I only use Duracell batteries and fortunately, didn't have any leakers. It is easier to change a battery now than repair/replace an MPU later.

    Also, change your smoke detector batteries, floss regularly, and wear clean underwear if you go on a roadtrip.

    January 1st is when I change all my Smoke Detector, CO2, and Pinball batteries.

    Replace your smoke detectors too! Check out the new tech available as well.

    They are only rated to last 10 years!

    The CO detectors that I have used go so far to have an "activation timestamp". To the day, it stops working after seven years.... which is their life cycle.

    I'm replacing all my smoke detectors this weekend.

    January 2 for me. Try as I might, nothing is in focus on January 1.

    That not really fair because her D batteries cost more than your AAs.

    Perhaps he gets some use out of hers as well?

    Seems the costly but powerful and rechargeable Lelo would be better on her next birthday.
