Is it on the web page somewhere? Anyway, here is the text. I hope it is ok to repost it to the list! Subject: Re: [Paddlewise] expired flares To: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net From: juliom_at_cisco.com Date: Fri, 22 Oct 1999 15:55:13 -0700 (PDT) Sender: owner-paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Precedence: list X-Listname: Paddlewise Mailing List X-Subscription-Info: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net What do we do with the expired flares? I tried to fire one last 4th of July. To avoid trouble with police and fire dept I chose to fire them in what I thought it was a controlled environment--the bathtub. The thing must have bounce several times between walls and eventually found its way out of the shower and fell on the floor. Everything was black around me, and the only thing I could see was that bright pink sparking thing on the floor. I spend the rest of the weekend venting the smoke, cleaning up the black good from the bathroom walls, and changing the floor vinyl. Lesson learned: do not try this at home. ;-) But in the experience I also learned that it would be extremely hard to fire one of those aerial flares with cold hands in rough seas. Anyway, does anyone know where to fire aerial flares without getting in trouble? - Julio *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
