Since I already own two Duluth<BR>> bags (Big House and SuperMax) for my main tuning and backup bags, I<BR>> thought it would be great if Duluth made some kind of insulated cooler <BR>> that matched the other bags, so I could store my adhesives, lubricants,<BR>> etc.<BR>><BR>> I was recently flipping through the Duluth catalog, and had a very nice<BR>> surprise: They make three sizes of insulated lunch boxes (the largest <BR>> being a full-blown cooler), and these match the tool bags. I've got one on<BR>> order now. This prompted me to put together a web page that lists all six<BR>> tool bags and insulated coolers, their features and overall dimensions - <BR>> kind of like a tool bag selection guide:<BR>><BR>> <A href="http://www.mesapiano.com/duluth.html">http://www.mesapiano.com/duluth.html</A><BR>><BR><BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV> <DIV>Hi Mark,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks for putting that together, I have been a Duluth Trading customer for years, living here in Wisconsin they supply some cold weather gear that comes in handy too. I am familiar with your area, lived in Mesa then Tempe until I was 15 we, my mother, 7 YO brother and I owned the only music store in Tempe at the time(early 60's). She married the piano tuner/tech, the rest is a long story but I ended up here, a few miles from the Mississippi in Southwest WI. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Some other tips for some of the glues that come in large quantities PVC-E for example, an empty nail polish bottle is great, it even comes with a brush! Just rinse it out with some nail polish remover, then  sudsy water. Some of the other liquids can be carried in smaller quantities in the empty vacation size bottles sold in the personal care departments of the big box stores. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanx again Mark,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Mike<BR><BR clear=all><BR>-- <BR>The way some people find fault, you'd think there was some kind of reward.<BR>Michael Magness<BR>Magness Piano Service<BR>608-786-4404<BR><A href="http://www.IFixPianos.com">www.IFixPianos.com </A><BR>email <A href="mailto:mike@ifixpianos.com">mike@ifixpianos.com</A> </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
