    Default Lost finger reel

    Hey, if anyone is at JB in the next couple of days and finds a delrin finger reel, sans clip, either at 20ft, 3300 feet, or 4200 feet, I would appreciate it if someone would drop it off at Ed's with Gordon. It doesn't have my name on it, and it is brand new, and I kinda miss it already.

    I dont have a bellows pocket, so I clip it off on my ass ring with my spare scooter, which has the same size clip- obviously I accidently unclipped it. Dang.

    Thanks in advance.

    They come off the clip by themselves, if you bump them the wrong way. I have lost about a dozen over the years in several different caves

    That's why I use suicide clips. They don't accidentally come off.

    They just accidentally clip on and kill you.

    Dang it- I'm beginning to figure that out. I still think I might have accidentally unclipped it, but it sure is possible that it got bumped- I was sketching some pretty small stuff the entire dive. Odds are I wont see it again if I dumped way back in a dead end somewhere.

    I think JB eats them. Lost one a while back near the second T, maybe in a side passage. I guess I will have to come to grips with feeding the JB Gods to be allowed to continue diving there. Good thing Edd has good prices on spools.......................Hmmmmmmmmm, do you think he sneaks in and gets them when we aren't looking? Shame on you Edd. lol

    I know for a fact he does. If I got a better deal on scratched ones, I would really would be in good shape. Oh well. Keeps him from having to buy his own, anyway.

    No I mean he is invisible, or hiding, and grabs them off of us when we go by. Not finders keepers. lol I have one I need to go get and I think it is in a nasty tunnel, so it should be there when I go back.
