Here's Jon-e!

Ok, so I'm getting ready to head up to the B-dub for the annual walleye hunt and noticed there's still 12" of ice on Moose Lake. I figured I'm gonna need some enhanced hand warming gadgets instead of those crappy chemical bag types. I knew I had one of these '70's era "Jon-e" pocket furnaces but wanted another so I could keep both paws warm. Tying knots is a pain with cold hands. Anyway, these babies are hard to find so I poked around Ebay and found several. I went ahead and put in ridiculously low bids on a few thinking I'd be lucky to win even one. Well imagine my surprise when I kept getting daily emails informing me "You Won" such and such hand warmer. Now I have 7 of these vintage chrome things. Two of them are originals made in 1948 , the year I was born. I may end up strapping all 7 to my body with duct tape like a retarded Islamic terrorist and head north.
