Default Never mind...

After spending a couple hours hanging upside down in the battery box, trying to see up the proverbial drain pipe with a mirror, I knew what I had to do: read through the "dumbest mistakes I ever made" thread to get ready to solve the problem. And didn't the little woman say, two hours back, "Maybe you have the nose too high in the air..." and I stomped that because, what is she, a water drop? Well, you know it: I lower the nose of the trailer down (I had raised it to drain well while I hosed and cleaned...), and damned if those odd twenty gallons didn't come flooding out! I was wondering why she keeps me around. Now I know: grunt labor.
