Gunner would have plumbed his Quincy, if he can find it, and pumped it out
in 12 minutes.


blush...well...I do have a rather underutilized 1" water pump
somewhere in the stacks of stuff. I got it from a guy who was going to
use it for a fire pump, using his swimming pool as a reseviour, until
he discovered the electric motor was 3 ph. I suspect it came out of
the oil fields.

Never even fired it up. Not a lot of call for it here in the desert.
Though..I suppose I could use the pressure washer..still need a
nozzle/gun assembly for it. It too is 3ph, but I can handle that...

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
