I would reccomend making a plug for your air coupling.  It would be easy to get a male part and put a cap/plug on the threaded part.  It'll keep (most) of the mud out.  Awesome system!

He wound up going to the Hospital to have it drilled. He was much better after that. It was pretty ugly looking though and happened before I got home so it was a surprise to me.

I can't wait to see that when it's done!  That, and see it work!  You should be able to talk to the International Space Station by the time you're done!   ;D
