Bob-
Thanks for the info, especially the part the
airpockets filling up and so on. I've found that a lot

soaking, in the future I'll just give them a quick
soak before I tie them on.

You passers-by, who share my journey,
You move and change,I move and am the same;
You move and are gone, I move and remain.
