### BTW, My original '79AT OJ jug, with roughly 1200 AT miles and another 300
since) sprung a leak whilst doing Georgia in '93. Repaired it at home by
melting some milk jug plastic onto the leak as a patch. It's gone at *least*
100 miles since then, and still in use. Yes, I tend to go easy on my gear,
but that's a "Wow" kind of statement. 21 years and 1500 miles. And I got cold
OJ with the purchase.

Yours in cheapness and lite,
