and this may be a new entry into the Axle vs Axel thread. You can bail water but you bale hay.
I apologize. It was midnight and I had been out trying to save a boat since noon. The continuous chant of B-A-I-L was stuck in my head and I could not shake it. All that water in those pails (not pales) of water really got to me. Next time I will be sure to go out in the field and bale hay (not hey) chanting B-A-L-E for twelve hours and turn pale before I come on here. Then I wont make the same mistake again. I promise.
