Let me know if you have something. Would prefer trades (promised my kids Disney for Christmas, so am saving all my pennies for that.....pulled the trigger this year as my mother passed away last year around Christmas, so I'm taking the kids south this year....long story...but anyway, would prefer a trade or trade plus cash)

WOuld love an OLD hardside camper (12-14') to transform

My experience with refilling them (yes..I bought the adapter years and years ago trying to save a few cents on gas) is..."don't do it" , not worth it, they do not fill consistently, and there is always fear of overfilling them, thus causing leaks at the valve. In fact, I built a tool to remove the center valve core so that once I "think" they're empty, the cylinder becomes open to free air and thus is safe to dispose of into the garbage, no chance of any explosion in your garbage can OR in the city facility.

I'll attach a pic of the tool I built. It's not fancy but does the job nicely. The long stem is actually a 16 penny nail that is just the right diameter. I used a dremel tool to notch the end and brazed the whole thing into a valve core tool body. Like I said, not real pretty but works great.

I've purchased a 5# refillable tank and a 11# tank that I carry along in my Clam portables. They are a much safer way to go than trying to refill the pounders.]]>

If you are going to want some of these, let Mike know how many and I'll get started with making them. The extra charge is .25/jig and is payable to Mike when the jigs are bought.]]>

There are pockets of water still visible, but for the most part Foster has some shale ice on it. Loosing the wind last night really did in the open water. The Zumbro usually puts on ice about the same time as Foster so it will be interesting to see if it too has sealed up.

I made a call to Trent [WCS] last night to "suggest" we put off our boating plans at Alma today in lieu of the forecast. Gotta say I didn't have to twist too hard on his arm to have him say uncle. Mike and I heard 5 degrees while we were yacking at the shop this morning and I can't imagine that two degrees would feel any different than the 7 degrees I fished Alma a couple years ago. I think putting this off a week was a good idea.

In another thread Jake suggested shallow water, no deeper than waist deep, and wearing waders for those who venture out this weekend. This might be good advice. Be careful out there.]]>
