[Rhodes22-list] Cockpit Seat Drains Replacement

[Jesse Shumaker]

Graham, your reply had me laughing since my projects usually go the
opposite way.  I start on one project, which leads to another (probably
bigger project), and suddenly I've decided to tackle a bunch more things
while I'm at it.  You seemed to have planned upfront to take on everything
right up front.
