real plumbing, real electricity

I'm in the laundry room at the bath house. Things are definitely closing off after Pennsic. The shower curtains and chairs were all removed (for cleaning?). I brought a pile of things along to recharge while I took a shower. My cell phone and 4 of
dglenn's AAs have already recharged. There's 2 more sets of 4 AAs, a camera battery, the Light Stick, and the iBook still going. I may not stay here long enough for everything to recharge. I put my last battery in the camera yesterday. It's actually the first (original) battery, and the other 2 are generic and rated at higher capacity. This battery is almost empty after only 2 days. Maybe I've been taking more pictures these last 2 days, without classes and camp breaking, the forced leisure. I'll take a count at some point.
Tentative plan for tomorrow is for
dglenn to drop me off at the Chevy dealer in Slippery Rock fairly early. My presence may pester them to get this thing done. If they still can't do it, I'll have to rent a van so we can pack up our campsite and get home in time to let our dogsitter get on with his life. Then I'll have to drive the rented van back here when our van is fixed, and drive home again. The earlier I get to Slippery Rock, the more likely DGlenn will be able to make a necessary rehearsal tomorrow evening.Tue Aug 11 23:11 EDT 2009
4 more AA batteries charged; 4 still going, plus camera, Light Stick, and iBook (@ 98%).
I've just copied (from the flash card) 666 photos taken since we arrived at Pennsic August 2nd. (There would be a few more that were deleted immediately on the camera.) Some of these will not make the cut for keeping; many will not make the cut for uploading. Sorting through them is a likely task for sitting in a car dealership.

168 the past 2 days. The original camera battery seems to be lagging behind the other two, but I'll reserve judgment until it is completely spent.Tue Aug 11 23:31 EDT 2009
Laptop battery @ 100%! Still charging the other batteries....Tue Aug 11 23:51 EDT 2009
I don't think I'll wait any longer for the last batteries. Ah, camera battery is just done. That leaves 4 AAs and the Light Stick (which gives no indication of its state of charge).
