Thanks a bunch, maybe before winter hits I'll invest in that setup, the wife has been a little grumpy about what I've spent on tinkering the last few months. I think I'd be smart to let that blow over before telling her there's less in the checking again. Lol.

Picking up that little Husky 50 seemed to get me in the tinkering mood so I went ahead and found a US made 266xp cover with guts included and ordered the 288 flag, putting all the numbers together got me a savings of at least 45 bucks. Probably more since that didn't include any shipping with...
