According to the internet, for an alkaline battery leak, you should use vinegar. For an acid based battery, you should use baking soda. These are basic non-rechargeable Energizer AA batteries so they should be alkaline.

Also there is a tiny place where the outside has come up a bit (probably from getting tossed around in the washer). Upon closer inspection, there are a couple of snags on the other wide of the battery.

I did take them out of the trash and wipe them off. On one, there was a bit of green residue (which turned brown). I guess this could have been from something in the trash. Should I be worried about this?

Should I add any vinegar or baking soda to neutralize the acid?

No burning of my face from the acid on the pillowcase?

What would be the worst case scenario if the batteries leaked a bit?

I was just washing some sheets and heard some noise in the washing machine. There were two AA batteries in the washer that got in with the sheets. They were submersed in water. I took the batteries out and they seem to be ok - no obvious swelling or tears. Will the sheets be ok to use after washing again? Should I do anything to the washing machine? I guess I am worried that some battery acid might have leaked out.

You're right down the street Steve, just come on by.

Fax is ready.

Deep dish pizza (goat cheese, mushroom, bacon, canadian bacon, and green olives). Yum.

Just finished watching the first season of Transparent. It was great! I would definitely recommend sticking with it Al (although the kids do stay pretty selfish throughout).

There are times when I just love Apple.

Happy Birthday Naaman!

The MBP is already fixed and back at my house (in perfect working order)!

Took mine in for repair today. The video test immediately failed and I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. They have the logic board in the store so all the work can be done locally (which means less chance of damage).

2 episodes of Transparent - I like it so far (though the 3 kids are a bit annoying).

Bosch I'm a huge fan of the Harry Bosch books so I'll probably be disappointed in the show but I'll give it a chance.

Happy belated birthday Al!

Happy Birthday Stephen!!!

Finished House of Cards; I'm now ready for Season 3.

Happy Birthday Dan!!!

Back to House of Cards Season 2

Spent all day in my office trying to get rid of papers and other junk so I'll eventually have room to move Tim's papers and junk into my office. My guess is that I have 2-3 more days of work in my office before I can start on Tim's office. The work never ends...

I've never taken anything in for repair before. Should I bring the Macbook Pro into Apple in a skin or will they put it in something protective before sending it out?

No Ani Difranco albums on Tidal, many on spotify.
