This will only make sense to regular readers and old friends who were

My smiler is workin' again, there is joy in my life. What'dja grease it with, Don? http://members.goldengate.net/dforem...t_cabin_visit/ Who knows? Maybe Herr Gott enjoyed the dialog, too. your sail, I bought a set of these when they were on sale for $8. http://goo.gl/JsOze _very_ handy. I keep a 100' hank of paracord in the truck, too, and found some 3mm paracord for my BugOutBag. It sounds like you have a nice little 2,000sf cabin by a lake. Isn't it time to dig the dirt away from the base of the wellhouse and paint that trim, sir? Good fix, even though you eliminated a job for a flexible, young acrobat. Keep your Jiffy cornbread mix. It has a toxic ingredient in it. Sugar. I make mine straight up, no tox. Poly tubs are great, I concur. Sounds as if you had a grand old time reopening the cabin. Keep up the good work, suh. -- Fleas can be taught nearly anything that a Congressman can. -- Mark Twain |

I buy Albers corn meal and use their recipe, sans any sugar. It's much better that way. Cornbread is a bread, not a cake, IMHO. Corn meal sure got expensive a few years ago.

Thanks for sharing, Don. Glad to see you're moving through the grief
process. BTW, I'm a professional "turn the valve with an extension" designer. Got six locations to drain. My best design is a small round plate, the O.D. of the valve handle. Then six drill and tap holes to match the six triangle openings in the valve (a small valve may have four). Then put a headless bolt in each drill and tap. Mine are "real long" so I weld a square tubing to make it to ground level and then had a square rod that will fit inside to turn it. A shaft the right length with a handle would serve you well.
