Houston, we have boost. Would the flight attendant please bring
the captain his favorite adult beverage?

Adult beverage, check.

I replaced all 3 hoses with Samco hoses I got from 2 Bennett. They're
the only folks around who've got them right now. Their stock is
pretty low as well - I bought the IC/TB hose from ECS just so I could
get a matched color set: Ricer Red.

Thanks everyone!

Flight attendant, please take your seat in the pilot's lap. Wheeeee!@

Steve
