Hi All, Shot in the dark, but does anyone have some space in their booth or know of someone who might? We'd like to sell some prints and t-shirts at NAHBS and the powers that be don't seem inclined to give us some or our own space. Willing to share in the costs. Thanks, Joe Joe Bartoe Syna

My only quibble with the new system is the points to dollars conversion: 20 points to the dollar is quirky... why not use "nickels" instead of points, or just go all the way and show a balance of rebate credit in dollars and cents? But overall, I think the new system is just fine - it works for tho

Don't have the Foss tubes on a bike right now. Was going to use them year round on a winter bike, but they were awfully tough to get on a rim in cool (freezing or below) weather. They also didn't want to fit under a slightly smaller studded tire. Which comes to my other complaint - I personally
