Yessir - and after we have been out in the boonies for 2 or 3 days, and The Mad Chemist and WATRD run out of cubed ice, we can MAKE MORE! Bottomless margaritas!

But, remind me to tape off the transfer switch so I don't waste perfectly good Takillya by pumping it into my main tank...

So Rob, do you use a stainless or glass vessel?
And you guys MIGHT just have to get exposed to Fuzzy Rum Drinks. It's a special blend of mine - and it may just put you down faster than Rob's Margs!

Now, if I hadn't of screwed up and ordered an open ball tire chuck instead of a closed ball... ARGH!I could have sworn that I clicked on "closed ball"!
Any ideas on a local source for them? I hate to pay $7 shipping on a $6 part...
