16 Hour late update: I was not able to return to my wiring job in the train building. The CFO strongly suggested that I prepare to take an old Chrysler van to the local scrapyard. I could not bring myself to buy a $1600 transmission for a $1000 van. I did invest 2 1/2 hours packing it top to bottom, front to back, with additional scrap metal. I'll bet I added 800 pounds of junk. I will give all the money to my bride ..... right before I tell her what I bought for the trains last week.
