The problem I have is that the meter must be left on for a long time to 
read the thermal drift.  But a wiggle stick meter, which requires no 
power to indicate, will not be accurate enough, so I have to use a 
digital meter of some sort.  But the digital meter eats up the battery 
if I leave it on, and one of the meters shuts itself down after awhile. 
  I guess what I should do is put a battery eliminator on it.  But I'm 
not sure if that is isolated enough.  And it seems that I'm always one 
meter short of making all the measurements.

----------------(from OED Mini-Dictionary)-----------------
PUNCTUATION - Apostrophe
Incorrect uses: (i) the apostrophe must not be used with a plural
where there is no possessive sense, as in ~tea's are served here~;
(ii) there is no such word as ~her's, our's, their's, your's~.

Confusions: it's = it is or it has (not 'belonging to it'); correct
uses are ~it's here~ (= it is here); ~it's gone~ (= it has gone);
but ~the dog wagged its tail~ (no apostrophe).
