Thanks again guys and no harm telling me not to throw the whole thing in the tub. Momma didn't raise no fools....couple of idiots....but no fools. You guys will love this.... decided to give the barrel a bath and everything was fine. Water started coming out clear so I took her out. Then I decided to lose my marbles and push a patch through her on the dining room table. Did I mention that we got new carpet in there recently??? Yep.....first patch through and the black stuff went flyin out the primer hole and on to the carpet.....with the wife looking on. Holy smokes...don't ever do that! Thankthe Lord for the guy who invented Oxy Clean!

I am now positive that the insurance is paid up.....she checked. Mainly I think she was looking for what they wouldn't pay on as she was thinkin about doin me in then and there.

Anyway... the barrel took a long time to get clean butit finally did. Thanks for all of your help andI hope I at least gave you a laugh or two!
