You are welcome, tnweasel.  We will have to find out where Lenawee sale is.  We don't always find what we are looking for, but have made a few good purchases from U of M.

I'd like some of the old slate chalkboard from MPS for my workshop - they are great for notes and temporary measures...  I hope they saved some from the two they are tearing down.
