Dutch,
Thanks for your write up and advice. I used as a reference several times. Got my project done last night and everything works like it's supposed to. Could not have done it without your help.

Ok, here's one while my sphincter tone was through the roof


Here's another when I was able to breath again.

Tough weekend, but challenging and fun at the same time

Not to derail (too much!) but how do you like those split vision mirrors? I am thinking of making a move to those...

In my opinion, they are the mack! My F250 has split mirrors, though top and bottom, and I can't stand to drive (or ride) anything without them. MUCH better vision.
