Update. I guess the transition to buying everything from an ebay seller is complete. I drove up there, to be told they had moved and changed the business name, so I got directions which should not have been more than 2 or 3 miles in an industrial park area. Couldn't find them. Burned 10 gallons of gas looking. Gave up and pointed old paint toward home. Looked them up on google, called them. Yup, they still had them, same 40 bucks & change. But got quoted another $12 for UPS home delivery. That would have made $52 for the 4 of them. He refused to tell me the brand name, so I'm betting they were VXB's which in roller skate size sell for $4.83 a pack of 10. I wanted SKF's, the good stuff on this side of the pond. So in a huff I said that isn't competitive and hung up. I checked fleabay, found the 4 of them in SKF boxes for $28 & free shipping from Ann Harbor MI. Should be shipped in the morning. > 2 of the posts in our split rail fencing > need refreshed. That might take finding a round tuit though... I got everything hauled to the scene except my clamshell digger. Plumb wore the old man out. The rider had a flat tire that did NOT want to re-seat and hold air. Needs new rear tires, guessing 25 yo & badly weatherchecked. And them'er $50/copy. Sigh. OTOH, I am still looking down at the grass. :) Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
