Ha, that's what I was thinking, 9..sort of like keeping the emergency window-breaker gadget in the trunk.
..but it was a nice idea, Gnu. In this case, it's unfortunate that I do keep my manual in the car but most times, it is sensible.

One problem with running online searches to find out things about subjects that are traditionally more manly is that I have a horrible time trying to figure out What to search for. I tend to think like a woman and searching mannish subjects with womanish words often provides a pile of useless or insultive or inaccurate info.
Mudcat is the absolute best place on earth for a woman to get solid info on stuff and (usually) not be talked down to.

Our weather is still having warmish spells so at least that part isn't problematic this time around.

Thanks guys,
I really do appreciate your help/input!
