Based on some info I found on another RV website, I'm trying a new string type to see if I can make these strings last a little longer (more robust). I just got through restringing a bedroom shade and used a heavy duty saltwater Dacron braided 130 lbs. test fishing line. I just bought a 10 yrd. spool from local sporting goods store just to test it out. A spool cost $1.99 so not out much if it doesn't work. This line is a the same diameter as the original string and is a little more waxy. The line is white with small green specs which are not noticeable. This line is suppose to have a low stretch quality. Time will tell how this pans out. So far so good! Works smoothly. rockin' is always trying to "over engineer" everything!

Tom,
I got a call from the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce and they want you to come by and spend the night for free. They feel like you are discriminating against them because you have not stayed in their state yet. My buddy Guido in Hackensack told me that it would probably be best if did not come into NJ.

Gosh, Donna just must be a saint, it must be horrible for her these last 13 years. You would almost think she is the one that should be consuming the Oak Barrel.
Tom, Yesterday I visited the largest liquor store in North America and thought of you the whole time.

Tom and Donna,
Happy anniversary and Happy birthday Donna.  
Also, it is really hard for me to say this  but they are really a great couple.
Now that being said, do I still owe you dinner Rockin?
Jim
