And the latest project that's taking most of my tinker time:
After a few months i was able to do this:
Its a work in progress but its proven useful...
You’ll have to dig but it seems there’s someone out west that have/had one. So sorry for the broad lead but I do remember there being one. California, Washington, Idaho….? Can’t remember. Maybe someone else does.
