    Hi, y'all...  some answers to questions from the weekend (I've been 
    traveling and off the net...)
    
    Jack 'n Anne... on rollbars:  I have a three-point bolt-in from pylon 
    motorsports in Jupiter, FLA.  It attaches to the seatbelt posts and to 
    the passenger seat glide track.  The roof goes up over it (no more 
    putting up the roof while you're moving, though), and it is quite 
    sturdy and stiffening.  It is OK in solo II, but NOT legal for solo I 
    because it is not 2 inches above my helmet.  It looks really cool, 
    though!
    
    Tom:  a great small tool kit for the Miata can be made from either a 
    knitting kit (no shit...) or a Chef's knife kit.  They are soft and 
    roll up and tie with a spot to tuck each tool.  Now you can fit some 
    wrenches, vise grips, screwdrivers and X-acto's.  I also tuck in some 
    duct and electrical tape, hose clamps and little nylon wrap strips.  
    The one replacement part I'd bring is a FAN BELT, since this is a part 
    that can go bad from reasons other than wear (frequently), and a bottle 
    of water.  Don't forget to bring sunscreen.  Have fun!!!  I'm jealous!!
    
    Eric:  All you 'puter nuts need to do me a favor and offer instructions 
    for you art-bits and stuff.  I'm computer illiterate as far as 
    re-mapping and gif and gaf and trf and other techno-babble.  Have 
    mercy!
    
    The LL bean number....  I left it in New York.  Sorry.  You can call 
    the 800 directory, though.  LL Bean, Freeport, ME.
