MomHawk was out of town this past weekend at a (remote) high school reunion. My oldest son's wife/daughter were out of town on a rare Saturday he had off, and my other two sons were also available.
We hopped online at about 10:30am Saturday and except for a break of about an hour at 6:00pm for some dinner, we gamed until about 1:00am Sunday morning. Primarily played Risk Of Rain 2 and Gunfire Reborn with a couple of others thrown in. That's probably the longest gaming session I've done in 15 years.

I remember when we (work peeps) realized the CMOS batteries were starting to go bad in the systems we supplied. We had to go through all of the computer/networking/communications bits (like 30+ per system) and figure out what if any batteries it had, what the expected life was, what the symptoms and failure propagation effects were and develop R&R procedures, then build that all into the support process. At first we celebrated any time we found an actual supercap. Then we realized those were worse because the systems might be in storage for months/years and we had to write reinitialization procedures for them... Sorry, my inner humfrz is showing. |

Get bored. Learn how to set a Flight Plan and Auto Pilot in a 747. Fly at night from HNL (Honolulu) to DTW (Detroit). Also when ot comes to the Button batteries. You'll be happy when you do need em. Hopefully that never happens. Last edited by x808drifter; 10-19-2022 at 06:45 AM. Reason: more stuff |

They're used by the twin's key fob... Had to replace mine earlier this summer. So maybe you'll be glad to have some stashed.

Over Lake Michigan RN. Daylight is nice vs the night I took off in. Clouds though. 8(
Eventful things so far. Tailed/intercepted by an F18 out of Honolulu. Almost killed over Chicago by a UPS flight. And crashed on landing. XD Last edited by x808drifter; 10-19-2022 at 10:37 AM. |

I still have all my old computers going back to my very first one, a 1st gen 386. (May even have the wife's 1st 286...) With my luck they will all have different batteries and some are likely not made anymore. |

Shows how far back I go with this. The original IBM PC didn't have a battery, you had to type in the date/time each time you started it up. It was a big deal when a company created a card with a battery that automatically set the time/date when you started it up.

Hmm, I thought my 14 did but don't have that to check. 17 does. But maybe it's just the push start models?

Probably different for push to start fobs. My Buick has a start button and uses a 2032, but I think my FRS key uses a cr16xx. Push start fobs need more capacity to do their thing I would think.

fyi its highly advisable to buy button/coin batteries from places other than amazon. i've been burned several times by counterfeit or expired batteries with fake expiration dates on them. often these things would only last a month and need replacement instead of years. |
