Thanks for all the great suggestions, guys.
I must admit I was flabbergasted by carbking's suggestion; It's brilliant! I ran right out and gave it a try. MUCH better now! If the rain holds off today, I'll take a long run and test it out.
Something to be said for the wealth of knowledge and experience here. I had been puzzling this twelve ways from Sunday and kept thinking of things to add to the system when the solution was to tweak what I had.
THANK YOU carbking! And thanks to all who gave the other terrific solutions. I already know a spot where I'll be using the nylock idea.
Best Wishes,
Jim
