Lost Phone at Sund Rock

Hi, I may have lost my cell in the Sund Rock parking lot about the 4th space from the North. Phone's not worth anything but I value the info on the SIM card.

I'll be glad to pay repatriation expenses.

Steel 72's with post valves

Hi, I have 2 very similar, if not identical steel 72's with the post valves and pipe thread necks. They appear to be in good condition. Scrap metal is worth 7 cents a pound so if anybody wants them I'll trade them for a 6 pack of Pepsi or best offer. I'll be in Hoodsport the 18th, 19th and 20th and ...

Re: Any refrigerator mechanics here?

We are too far away for the dive light deal but I'm curious what the freezer temperature is? Also is this old enough to have coils in the back or underneath that might need cleaned? Is the compressor noisy?

Re: Tank valve bubble

Probably the overpressure blow-off disc. When they change them they sometimes leak.
