Great notes, Skip. I know you've had some knuckle problems in the past (right?). How are you getting along?

Let me just disagree with #4 here, though. I avoided putting them through the washer because I'm cheap frugal poor thrifty too busy to buy new wraps all the time, and I figured the washing and detergent and drying would wear out the elastic (I use "Mexican style") quicker.
In my experience, anyway, I've found that just hanging wraps up to dry keeps them from getting rank. As long as they don't sit in my bag or on the floor somewhere in damp wad, they're all right. I hang them over the door for a couple of days, roll them back up, and move on. Maybe this is one of those things that's individual, though, and I'm just naturally sweet-smelling. 

Then perhaps your nom de guerre when you go pro could be "Damp Wad" or "Da Funky Lump." Actually, I think James Brown recorded a song by the name of the latter sometime in the early '70s. Don't use that one

Good to hear, Skip. Keep on truckin'.
