Really?

Maybe try a few peanuts leading up to it, from a few feet away. I assume
you're using some sort of remote control?

How do you like the R1C1? I've been thinking of getting an R1 myself -- I'd
use it with my SB-800 for a commander. Battery life is not a problem with
the SB-R200s? (I'm inclined to dislike anything that doesn't take
rechargeables.)

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. That makes it more appealing. I think I've still
got a number of CR123As from when I was using 35s, anyway. Unused lithiums
seem to last practically forever so I expect they're still good.

Get him? With only a subtle change, that peanut holder can be
replaced by a peanut loaded rat trap!
