In Response To: Re: Beer-n-ator? (Scott Ferguson)

Well, I've got a prototype of a beerinator but no digital camera to post a pic...have to wait for my disposable to fill up and get developed. I took my "camel back" - one of those mountain biking bladders for water, and it has a hose with a valve on the end - similar to a check valve that you can actuate with your tongue. With the two cannister respirator I just cut a hole for the end, sealed it up. The pack holds about 1.5 litres, or 4ish beers and mounts like a backpack. The trick is making sure the valve is within reach of your mouth, but not too close that you're accidentally spilling beer. This was more of a side project to take a break from the kayak than for actual use. We'll see how handy it comes in when I start fibreglassing this weekend. I'm not sure the smokilator is very feasable and have abandoned the idea.

: Wait a second, it's coming to me know.... hold on... ok. The whole hand
: sanding workout system would combine a "Triple-threat Chipper
: system" (that's three shop vacs working simultaneously for those who
: didn't know) and a "Beer-n-ator" with an automatic refill
: system, a stairmaster or treadmill (personal preference), and some kind of
: heart monitoring system. An hour or two a day and in no time you'd be the
: best fit drunken kayak builder around.

: If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to put you in charge of contacting
: Universal Studios, we'll need several of those Ghost Buster packs.
