Actually, the video was the first time I'd ever seen
the pump in action.  Inspirational.

Well, I wouldn't be putting this up at almost midnight if
it wasn't some good news on my efforts to tame this beast.

I took it out of the vinegar, cleaned it off and got back
to tuggin-and-pullin, twistin-and turnin, seemingly getting
nowhere when, wham, all of a sudden, I went from 1/4 length
extension to full length.  It startled me as I was kind of
daydreaming while doing this task. I don't know if it will
work - Im done for today.

Thanks,
Wayne
