Camelbak probs

[Bad JuJu]

What? Your bike isn't in the middle of your living room?

Well, it is when there's a hurricane a-comin'. But just now...well, let me go find some wood to knock on.

I think warm water would be likely to work better. My theory is that when the air between the water and the rest of the camelbak cools down, it shrinks... and of course when the voume of the water decreases, that shrinks things... therefore, is harder to open. (So far I've just drunk old water or wrestled that puppy into submission, though... I figure if it's sealed that tightly germs ain't getting in either.)
Sigh, right now I can't *find* my high-viz camelbak. How can something that loud disappear????? (Is it with my wallet? That's going on three weeks...)

I have learned best to open as follows:

Put the bladder down on the counter so its laying flat, twist the mouth open. For some reason, due to the plastic bladder, I can't get the same leverage if I hold the bladder up in front me. Flat on the counter, it easily opens. MAGIC? maybe....
