found fuse!

Back in September at Mew Lake, the CLA plug of my Kendrick dew heater did its own impression of a supernova as I was packing up in the middle of the night: it exploded, popping open, releasing its innards to the ether.

At the time, fumbling around in the darkness, I found the metal pin.

The fuse I never found.

I looked the next day in daylight to no avail.

Today, I found it! The original 5A fuse.

It was inside the old laptop bag that I now use to carry around the Century booster pak, down at the bottom, underneath the heavy battery.

I also found the new pack of hard warmers in here. Hadn't seen those for a while... Makes sense. I will use these, upon Guy's suggestion, to keep portable batteries warm in the field.
