Ah! That sounds like it has possibilities. If we here are not getting
rain from the storm in Gulf of Mexico on Sunday, I will check it out. I
have no covered space in which to work. I work under a giant Sweet Gum
Tree. I am truly a "shade-tree mechanic"! Unfortuantely , right now I'm
getting shade-tree mechanic results for my efforts.

Thanks.
