Re: Jammed Ignition Key Tumbler.... Grrrrr!!!!

...Given that I'm their prime-target now... I've got to establish deep trance, to set my internal clock, to half an hour before they arrive in this neighborhood... so I'll be ready with the camera, and a piece of rope, and a flatblack four-foot/2-inch dia. hardwood club.. should they dare sport blades, to have entered my domain... at which time, shidzOn!", and all stops are pulled...
Better for them to listen to my story it be.. than to try to play "kill" with me...
So much for the "kiddieland stuff"...

____________


...I'm finishing up an everything fall-cleanup... where I tidy right to the fence corners.. and to every corner of every storage room.. and every inch of the yards, and walks... This is as clean as it would be if the king of realters would have it...
Now all I gotz to do is win the next lotto, to get met out of, and far away from, this part of hell on earth...

... I'm tidying the back corner of the fence, where I have a 20-foot triad fenced-in, holding all my metaly things.. "guy things"... and I'm a spreading 'em All over the yards... Tidying them up.. restoring.. tossing.. pondering... This ole trampoline, I scooped from the spring cleanup, drapes over the box with lots to spare...
Cut'er square, with lots of excess... Build 7 square-tube cross-member roof-supports...
Then drill-in a lot of boat-top snaps to the box... Fold and Pin the edges... Do up eight snaps... then test, and adjust it... Then sew the folded edges with 2-inch nylon strapping, six straight clean passes with ultra strong exterior quality black thread... sewing in a trampoline loop every couple inches.. so I'll still have a trampoline, should "trampoline" ever one day be part of what I need for something, somewhere, somehow, some hole in time... in my prospecting jaunts into heaven on earth's remaining pristine forests, where critters are honest and friendlier than god's children...

Then I've got me a have a super new toneau cover.. for free... Made of prime Kevlar yet... Its soft semigloss sheen, will definitely compliment the flat-black box...

At what speeds, height, and curvature, does a flexible box-cover start to flap?..

What is optimum format of the cross members..?

Is there a good sealant, for Kevlar, which remains flexible forever..?

I'm seeing that it needs be locked to the box somehow.. cuz there are apes out there in hell, who would snatch a nice cover in about as much time as it takes to blast out an epic fart...
I suppose six ultra strong rings through the material, along the reinforcement ribbon...

Or, a locking half-inch rod, threaded through the welded box-loops, and trampoline rings..?
