I have an electrical outlet adapter in the car.  It plugs into the lighter
socket.  My sis and I plug the laptop and the DVD in the box outlet on the
other end.  Driving home is like 12 hours.  You can plug a heating pad into
that.  Mom does for her back.

yeah...the only problem I have with the electric heating pad idea, is that  
most often when my chroms are ice-cold and 'popping'  I'm nowhere near a  
socket (to plug in)...or when in the car...or a Lobby jam...and the idea of

having to move a hotel's heavy sofa or loveseat to go searching for a socket

 would be counter-intuitive to improv-ing, or moving around from place to 
place  the way we usually do.  Cords also trip people. Danny's use is more 
for an  on-stage or room situation ...or playing when one is sitting down or

standing in  one place. The heating pads do work well....just aren't optimum

for me.
 
If you have something battery powered which also protects the chromatic,  
you're already ahead of the game. I prefer the portability of the hand 
warmers,  and suppose the pouches I designed are somewhat akin to the 'sock'

concept,  except with the ability to wear them over the shoulder or across
the 
body.  I'm now working on little sleeves to keep the hot packs separated
from  
direct contact with the chromatic.  Who  knows? If I get ambitious  enough, 
I might just start making my chromatic pouches for friends ;)
