\"Nikon-ML-L3-Remote\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I sure hope it’s true what they say about the third time being a charm. Because three times now I have thrown Bart’s pants in the washer after having done a photo shoot, and three times straight the Nikon Remote<\/a> has been in the pants pocket. Yeah, our very own version of the Timex Torture Test<\/a>. John Cameron Swayze<\/a> would have approved. You should have heard the stream of expletives Bart unleashed when I brought it to him after the first episode – all warm and nice from the dryer. Whoa. But miracle of fine engineering and Nikon excellence, it still worked. Yes. But Bart realized he had to be much more careful.<\/p>\n

Another photo shoot – another wash and dry cycle. I held open my palm to Bart, the little gizmo nestled there all clean. And warm. And dry. Off he went, expletives unrivaled. But the remote still worked – after twice through the washer and dryer. Unbelievable. Last night as Bart was shooting kitchen implements he remarked, almost in passing, maybe too much in passing, “I gotta be sure not to leave this in my pocket.” I guess I do not have to tell you what happened. This morning I saw it in the washer. Unfortunately I saw it at the end of the cycle – the little darling never got to the warmth of the dryer. I brought it to Bart, and I said “Just how many times do you think a remote can go through the wash and still work? I suggest you get a back up.” He really did not appreciate my humor. Again with the expletives. He took it apart, dried it with the hair dryer, and to our utter amazement, it still worked. Thanks, Nikon<\/a>. Oh, and by the way, I can tell you just how long it takes a battery to rust – one washer\/dryer cycle. Buy a battery multi-pack. You just might need it.<\/p>\n
