Thanks OC! They don't work on weekends....and I can't blame them.....they get here at 7 and stay until 5. It is just amazing how three or four guys can do so much in a day!
Framing for the porch came this evening. My head is spinning!

Frank-VA,There would be (Nothing) left of the (Plastic Ball Valve) if drilled out to incoming hose size. Youroo!!

Looks like it could be drilled out to 7/16" or 1/2" to match the bore.

I could bore it out, but I don't even use it. Never winterize. Just take the valve out and put in a couplers, remove the vertical pipe and save all that weight.

A Tee would defeat the (Convenance) that people want to just (Turn a handle) to go from F/W too A/F bottle,without removing or adding anything! Youroo!!

Understand youroo, just messin' with you. As I said, I don't winterize and therefore don't use it. In my case, I could take the whole mess out, but I'll leave it as it is in the back under the cabinets and extremely difficult to get to and someone else might use it.

My water filter is relatively easy to get to, just remove a small panel in the basement and it's right there. Use to have to remove 4 screws, I took them out and installed (2) 1/4" spring loaded pins compliments of the USAF.

I was referencing the (100s) of members who ask where their W/Filter is. Bet those (Pins) cost 500.00$ each! Youroo!!

Notice they both have sleepers. Ms. Amy will do the work as usual while FT Turbs is either asleep or passed out in a sleeper. Don't see any combines.

Must have a JD and he's working on it. When we were in 150bu/acre corn, we filled a 200 bu grain hopper every 7 minutes if we stopped to unload and every 9 minutes if we unloaded on the go. Grain carts/trucks just followed alongside the combines.

Same here Frank only the temp was 27°. TOO @#$% COLD! Going to have to sweet talk TOWTA into moving the exit date to FL up from Fri after Thanksgiving to tomorrow. I'll brave the cold today and hook up.
