  Scott -
  
  1.  No.  Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't, depending upon how long since
  I've flown.  I suspect I should have on Sunday.
  
  2.  I did about a month ago when I was checking the alternate extension. (by
  mistake, not intentionally)
  
  3.  Haven't checked it yet.  Gonna be awhile before I have time to get to
  it.  I work 10-12 hour days and have been travelling quite a bit.
  
  4.  Light bulb is illuminated when the pump runs.
  
  5.  The pump runs constantly with the gear switch down, so I assume it's in
  the down direction.  I haven't jacked the airplane yet.  The tone changes
  when I open the dump valve, which would lead me to believe that one of the
  actuators is kaput.
  
  Two regrets - 1- I didn't have time to burn down header tank fuel and move
  the cg aft because of the low clouds coming in.  2- I didn't shut the engine
  down far enough out on final.  It was still windmilling.
