Oops Mike!

You're absolutely right!! Sorry, I misunderstood your question! Everything was crystal-clear in my mind, so clear that I didn't even see the error on the site.

I appreciate your pointing out my error--got 'er fixed now (I think!)

For your trouble, you get free use of my pump-building plans! ;)

Thanks, Shawn
