Is this a travel mug with tight lid? "chai mug"

[UTUSN]

All I can find are humongous, SUPERsized travel mugs. This is the only 12 oz that is stainless inside and out (don't want the plastic inside). But this is for tea, which is fine, but it looks like the lid is not the sealed type like for commuter travel mug. It's on Amazon but impossible to phone the seller, AKTive Livestyles Inc. Might have to do the e-mailing but DU Lounge is always faster and surer.

1. Contigo Travel Mug

Comes in 16 & 20 oz sizes, stainless steel interior and they have an "autoseal" lid. They work extremely well and you can get replacement lids should you need them.

A quick check of their site shows that they also carry 10oz, 12oz, & 14oz mugs as well

2. Thanks, but I'm looking for 12 oz. Closest I've found are 14.

This Timolino thing is the 12, but it's not named as a "commuter" mug, so I don't know if its lid is either just loose, or whether it has a sipping hole for drinking in the vehicle without removing the lid.

4. lid is domed, I bet it is just a loose cover to keep contents warm

we used to have an insulated steel coffee mug with a set in lid but I don't remember where it came from and of course lost the lid right away

now, me - I am always on the look out for a 24 oz tall travel cup with a lid that has a thin edge for my 2 cup dose of morning drugs. I apparently have a drinking problem. I tend to dribble when using the ones with thick edges.

5. That's what I'm guessing (the domed/loose). Oh, tell your hubby I got the concrete slab

taken OUT!1 There was a tractor (bulldozer?) banging, lifting and DROPPING parts of the slab, with the ground and my house QUAKING for about two working days. Plus a jackhammer that had to be traded for some kind of bigger and louder machine. There were only TWO dudes doing the job.

At the beginning, the three different bidders thought it was only deep/thick at the front perimeter. When the two dudes uncovered things, the depth was THREE FEET DOWN and the perimeter had an inside cross of that same depth and thickness.

I happen to have met the (now) old man who built the houses in this area. He built them in the '60s and they are all this (BUNKER) strength. He put in clothes line POSTS on all his projects, and the ones I and my friends took out 20 yrs ago on my property were IRON and the three feet deep concrete, with the post walls being 1/4" thick! I don't have contact with him now, so I can't ask him WHY he built everything like an atom bomb was going to be dropped on everything he built!1

7. In the 60s EVERYTHING was at risk from nukuler blast.

We wanted our by-god clothesline posts to SURVIVE!
Fuck the clothes!
And the lines!
Save the clothesline posts!

Clothesline posts are our god-given right guaranteed by our constitution and no goddam commie russkie or chicom is gonna take that away!

[UTUSN]

10. Well these days those posts are bringing a mint selling for the scrap metal!1 n/t

[trof]

11. There ya go. Every cloud has a silver lining.

Now...is there a market for 'scrap' concrete?

8. My brother is an engineer in Los Alamos, NM

He built his house using 4x4s. While it is possible Los Alamos would be a target for bombs or maybe exploding one of their own by accident, I believe it has more to do with the desire for something solid that will last. I am betting you have good insulation in your home too.

[UTUSN]

9. Well, "solid that will last," I'm at the point that if it lasts as long as I do - good enough.

As for the insulation, well, there were/are gaps in the different openings that I filled in with the foam stuff, but he did use those windows that have strength-giving panes of some kind of composition (not glass?) that have survived, along with the house itself, winds of 70 - 100 mph.

I just wonder, a tornado of the right stuff would take ANYTHING with it, so why the ground level foundation so massive if the above ground stuff might still be blown away. Oh, well...

[siligut]

12. Didn't know you live in tornado country

Do tornadoes ever tear up foundations? I don't know, but your windows sound interesting, are they good for keeping the cold out? We have double-paned windows, but I am about to use some of the shrink wrap plastic on them anyway.

[UTUSN]

14. Windows something like this, but not this sturdy looking

(Let's see if this graphic works.) They are aluminum sliding windows, sliding on aluminum tubes inside the (whaddayacallems?). They do seem to keep the cold out and are stronger whatever they're made of than glass, but CHEAP. I use sunscreen film mostly for the extra summer sun, but this also holds potential flying pieces together and possibly adds strength. Your double panes should be good for warmth?

[siligut]

15. They are better than single-paned windows, but still windows

They are well sealed and really pretty good, but not as good as the insulated walls. So I am going to try the plastic I like a warm house but I am also cheap and green

13. Uh-huh... thick edges. It's a poor carpenter who blames his/her tools.

16. Not a travel mug.

No idea on where to find a 12oz. stainless travel mug...normally I'd suggest S'bux but I know they're only going to have plastic and possibly clear polycarbonate.

[UTUSN]

17. yup. sinking feeling not commuter. thanks. nt

[AmyDeLune]

18. Will this one work?

http://www.gocontigo.com/autoseal-fulton-stainless-steel-desk-mug.html
It's a desk mug, but it is 12oz double wall stainless steel.
Had to leave earlier to go to work. (Lost track of time...)

[UTUSN]

19. Yeah, I saw that in your link!1 That's a likely choice. Thanks again. n/t
