Well, im thinking this is how the lock mechanisms work. Looking for pictures to try and figure it out can be even more revealing. It seems that Cobalt can’t make up their minds on how to mount the upright arms.
Our boat, and most seem to have the bend at the bottom, and others have them bend at the top. Doesn’t seem to matter what model, sliding or fixed, like it’s at the whim of the assembly person.
So, I imagine I won’t have an answer from Cobalt that makes sense..

Almost to the end. Just the garage door glass panels need to be changed out for the matching glass.

Everything has been graded, and hydroseeded this morning.
Now, just a little more warm weather and night time rain would be great.

Two more.
In case you are wondering what that green piping is from in my yard, and where a lot of your natural gas comes from, it’s in the Medina Formation that runs from Medina, OH to Medina, NY.
We sit right on it. That’s a gas well in front of my house that eliminates our gas bill.

That's just a badass house and boatshed. Jus saying. And a gas well in the front yard is even better. Down in our country that's a status symbol, right Driller?

Yep, but an oil well would be better profit. However not as useful. Then again a barrel of oil will buy a lot of gas, even at today’s prices.

Gas wells are everywhere around here. They run roughly a half mile deep in most cases.
In the 70's, investors were drilling on properties and giving the property owner 1/8 royalty. After awhile, when the wells weren't producing enough commercially, the investor groups were looking to sell them to the property owners. I bought it for four grand back in 1987. It's been heating my old house, and this one along with the pool and a nice set of fire place gas logs ever since.
The one at my moms house was a record breaker in its time, with almost 700 lbs of head pressure.

And I'm sure your yard doesn't have any grass it's just 4 leaf clovers :-)
If your not buying lottery tickets I would start.:-)

Gotta be a way to get a Cobalt to run on that gas. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the personal gas well. Not an Ontario phenomena . Very cool. I want a personal Hydro dam.
