eating my words...

... and how yummy it is!

this was always on my mind, but i couldn't get over the hump of paying this level for a rubber strap. still...i'm SO glad to be proven wrong!

the 5711R is continuing to be elusive, but i think the 67R alongside the 5712/1A is a great PP sport combo.
but someday, someway the 11R may come my way!

in the meantime.... WOW!
