What do you mean plans to. Look at the picture he has stopped midway thru the jump.

Boatman, I like the new avatar.

Along with..... why do farmers wear wide wellington boots? So you can insert the sheep's rear legs to hold it still.

And I thought it was 'why do farmers wear white wellington boots? So you can insert the sheep's rear legs and no one will notice..'

Come on Z, you live in San Diego, you should know you can get a lot lower, and without even getting wet. Drive 2hr east towards El Centro. About 10mi before you get to El Centro there is a high way sign that says ' Elevation - Sea Level', and you are still going downhill towards El Centro, both literally and figuratively. Just north of there is the Salton Sea which is something like 200' below.

So it's just like all of us on the forum, we may be at sea level, but we can still go a lot lower, literally and figuratively.

Since your car is afraid of going there it's a good thing I included the picture.
