LOL! At your age your still that tall? Geez, I used to be 6'2" in my prime... I just clear 6'0" nowadaze! Could be I lost some height when the hydraulic hose burst on the bucket truck, with 2 large linemen and tools (about 500 lbs) inside snapped down when I was underneath and crunched my hard hat! (True story)!
LOL well, just think how tall I would be if I didn't have so much tucked under...... (Size 15 shoes)

OUCH - I'm surprised you still manage to get up to 6' - That would be enough to knock an average person down to where they would be one of the 7 dwarfs in Snow White... LOL
Oh, I don't know if you saw it or not, but on the AA921 Canner, I posted my one modification I made - (kind of like a lineman's tool tether. After misplacing the weight once (for about 10 minutes), I decided that a solution was called for...
I took a split key ring and put it around the top handle, a 3" piece of lightweight chain and a cotter pin and put it on as you see in the picture...
I checked the gauge on a batch before and after the modification and can see no discernible difference in pressure. Now, I always know exactly where that weight is!
