Very entertaining Nick.

Reminds me how much I hate the cold!

And comforting to know that the SV works.

Thanks Charlie  :D

Trev's SV's do an excellent job at blowing off the extra steam at a fast rate, great for winter steaming!

They seem to be set to blow-off right at 10 psi, which to me is a little low, but his engines run extremely fast at 10 psi and run very well on far less, but you already know that  8)
