it was a battle of the two forces today.. actually, there were other forces involved also.. so there was the dark force, the light force, the strong force, and the weak force.. the strong force today was the rubbers resistance to stretching.. the weak force was my fingers that did the installing.. the dry towel seemed to help a lot.. it took maybe 10 or 15 tries to get the first one on, then maybe half that on the second.. the small amount of silicone grease combined with the towel made it all work.. I walked away feeling a little lucky .. haha .. call it what you will, I look at it as a badge of honor.. not everyone can install them, I'm thinking.. at 76, I am sure my strength is waning, but I did it !! .. remember that old saying.. "I'm the man you thought you were" .. :rofl:
