Just remember: If you plug it in and the connections don't work right, you can stick your tongue in the sockets to moisten them. ;)

If that doesn't work you can also use an eraser to clean the contacts ;)

I was just going to gently stimulate the plug until the excess water drips off before I shove it into the charging port.

Apparently the car doesnt mind if its covered in moisture. Ultimately, its in control whether or not it wants to take my plug's electrons. It will do all the work for me and extract it when/how it chooses.

Heh... heh....

Never seen a fanny pack on a car before.
A fanny pack with snacks for my kids saved my sanity more than once at places like Disney World. Still have the same pack and used to hold miscellaneous crap when i was a wedding photographer, too.

That’s more like it. My first thought was it looked like a cross between an insulated lunch bag and a koteka.
