    I know you (RICK) have the best intentions but you can't really be serious
    about this. I imagined the boat sliding off the jack stands into the car
    while I stand there in utter amazement at the sight of it.

    But back to the problem at hand. ANTIBOND 2015. This is the first step.
    Second will be the Piano wire. These two methods have been tried and
    proved successful for others and therefore I will try this, this weekend...
     Thanks everyone...
