Dishwasher....good idea.  I'll have to try that the next time the wife 
will be out for a know period of time.  She's rather protective of the 
kitchen area :)

Since I had no idea if these type capacitors are suppose to be weather 
proof I have the ones used to tune 29 kHz in a plastic box.

I have no problem being referred to as  frugal but don't call me a 
Yankee :)  Those are the hordes of people that have moved to this area 
that are driving up property value which drives up my taxes :(   When I 
complain I'm told I should be glad my property is now worth a small 
fortune.  Problem is I couldn't care less how much it's worth because I 
never intend to sell.
