I remember seeing one floating in Lake Merrit back when I lived in Oakland, Ca. It had no fur anymore... A crowd eventually gathered around as we were trying to get it closer to shore and get a stick; it seriously looked like a baby...
this one was still furry. it hadn't been in there very long. I really wish I could figure out what happened. I've seen other critters around it since and haven't found any more floaters
Could have fell in, maybe out of a tree got knocked unconscious or disoriented and drown. Maybe another animal attacked him, really, anything. Could have also been unable to find an exit and got exhausted, having a ramp exit might help too.

Here is a video of a teardown. Seems quite well thought out and constructed to me. I have 1 tube mod with carbon fiber sleeve and it is my favorite. I get copper conductivity with low maintenance and no penny smell. i like the changeable tubes on the able. I am not too familiar with new tube mechs but all the ones I have seen apart seem much better built than the old ones with much fewer parts. If the price is right go for it.
Hope this helps.
Thank you. I've watched a few vids but hadn't seen that one yet. I didn't know if you had any experience with them.
get an autopsy at the vet. Warning: it ain't free.
Maybe it had a heart condition
I'm going to have to check that place out one of these days.You have to go across the street for that one.
Going back to watch Perry Mason withmy Mom nad Aunt... who knew that was still on. I’m having freaking flashbacks to the 60’s
No I have been out of tube mods for a bit but I can tell a lot from the video.. Those are my favorite bottom button assemblies. There were quite a few that they overcopmlicated but that one is very simple. It is just the button pin magnets and housing. I am on the fence about the top hat. On the one hand it is much simpler to use than pins. It is like a telescopic though and you have to be careful not to overtighten it, Over time it can bend down the positive contact on the battery. If you aren't too familiar to tube mechs this looks like a good one to start with it is quite user friendly. Easy to disassemble and also use. Non hybrid. Magnetic(no spring to wear out) With what I know makes a good tube mech, that one checks all the boxes. Just be gentle with the top cap.
