No better way to be a complete lazy bum and cool off at the same time. Razz

That guy has the right idea- a tube for himself & one for his cooler. Wink

That's why you need the heavier tippet in that part of the river. After a long accurate cast, you would hate to have that one break off! Wink

You did not expect him to hold his cooler on his lap, did you?

Tubed the Farmington 25+ years ago. Great time with a bunch of people as a group. Didn't have tube for cooler, so tied mesh net full of beers to the tube. They warmed up to water temp pretty quick. Didn't stop us from drinking them, just not as refreshing.

Lung, you have too much time on your hands. Shouldn't you be prepping your new boat? Smile

Mac I had the wine in mind

It was not just a coincidence that the cooler was at iboats.com where I can look up and find the parts and supplies I will need for the boat that I will go broke on getting her ready Wink

Was up at the farm this morning and grabbed a fresh gallon. I tapped a drink or 2 off it for lunch (breakfast actually). Not a bad batch. Just bought a new food saver vacuum packager and bought the wine stopper to keep the rest of the bottle fresh. Checked the basement and there is plenty of untapped stock. This could be a dangerous season. If you ever need an extra deck hand, give me a shout. I started looking at salt water spinning tackle for stripers on the river with the kayak. Money and me are like oil and water, separate pretty quick.
