Just to mess with you - yes.

Identify which it is - it's the one that corresponds to the foot I can
lift off the rudder and still go straight.
Verify that I got it right by pulling that throttle to idle.
Feather by pulling the prop lever all the way back.

Once I get that much done, I have all the time in the world to circle
over the airport until I climb to pattern altitude at Vyse corrected
for weight and density altitude.

Did I mention I have two?

OK, OK.

Pull the knob.
Turn into the wind, banking about 45 degrees.
Once turned towards the airstrip, line up with it and apply spoilers.
Land downwind.

Did I mention the engine is on the plane pulling me?

Gotta be a little more specific...
