Random Question of the Day- What are Sofnolime tubs made out of?

An old sofnalime tub tied to your household keys will ensure that you never again have a "where did I put my keys?" moment.

Mark,

I've just noticed that you don't use a reg on your drop tank.

Are you really that hard a diver that you can just sup out of the valve and turn the tank on and off as required?

If you are a bit brassic, if you heat and stretch a sofnolime tub, then chop off the ends you can make a hose. If you then get the cap and drill a hole in it the same size as the hose. Glue the cap onto the stretched tub, connect the other end of the tub hosey thing onto the valve and you have a DIY reg.

Thats the trouble with selling all your OC kit to pay for a CCR. You suddenly find out you need some of it back

Cut in half (lengthwise) they make disposable kitty litter pans. Yes, we have a LARGE cat.

I use one under the front of my bike engines when I take the front wheel out to prevent nose diving onto the forks.

I find this highly offensive. Cats should not be considered disposable items.

You're better off cooking and eating them
