Right on.  It says re-scheduled.  Too bad it didn't get here today.  I don't
remember when it was originally scheduled, so is it early or late?  I should
get it tested next week though.  (Rusty sent me his Craig-Davies pump to
measure on the same setup I used with the WP136's)  

The hardware store had 1 1/4 fittings and 1 1/2 fittings so I got the 1 1/4.
Maybe I can wrap enough tape around it to get a seal since the pressure isn't
much.

I bought some Earl's Pro-Lite 350 hose from Summit.  It is a nylon braid and
fits the Earl's reusable swivel ends.  It's good to 300 psi and 350 F.  It's
also a lot more flexible than the hoses I had made.  Am I going to lose much
reliability by using this instead of the stainless steel braided hose?  The SS
hose has a better pressure rating, but both are way over rated for what I need.
