I’m in at the Oceanfront Inn (757-422-0445) also.  Now, I’ve got to figure out whether to “wear” my MiGi or my classic Mini.

Thanks Kent.  I’ve used those adapters (we used to call them Fernco’s – I think it was a brand name) many many times but didn’t think of it.  Damn, – your memory is a terrible thing to lose.

Roy, you can get rubber boots in the hardware store’s plumbing department that are about 3-4″ long. Might work, but I don’t know how they’d hold up to heat and gasoline.
