I have just enough heat in that building to discourage it's falling below the dew point, else everything with iron in it turns bright red from rust. Including the stuff that was just sprayed down with WS-40 2 weeks prior. And while its +23F at the airport in Bridgeport, 20 miles NE of me, the weather people at both local tv stations are threatening us with freezing rain tonight, and +5F by dark Saturday night.

Lots of play, then I noticed it was assembled with the open faces both pointed down the length of the screw. Doh... Thanks Andy.
