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) 

I do all the UPS shipping online, and the original estimate assumes the package will be in the hands of UPS the same day you print the label.  In this case, it got to UPS the next day, so they "reschedule" it.  No hurry on the test on my account, but I will be interested to see how it compares.

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.

I never really looked at the pro-lite hose.  From the description, I figured it would be a lot cheaper than the perform-o-flex, but it actually looks more expensive.  Being more flexible would a big plus, but I do like the stainless braid on hoses. 

Cheers,

Rusty
