Two gadgets that I have had for ever are the K-Tell patti stacker, which forms hamburger patties and can be used to store them in the freezer, and the Pocket Fisherman which is a really neat fold-up fishing rod, with little compartments for lures and stuff. Otherwise I don't go for gadgets.
I like that - night shift for bats and day shift for martins -very ecologically sound practice. We dont get mozzies in Accy area yet, but with climate change they will reach us eventually. One of my spider repellers has a mozzie setting, so Im ready for it.
