With Amanda and I still in STL and Tim hard at work on bikes for the NAHBS i thought i'd give an update on some Xmas presents.  While i did get more than i asked for and one of the most exciting things i got was a very nice pull saw that will work excellent for trail maintenance out at the park, my sister got the best present of all.  Shown here:

If you're like me, and dread going to sleep or getting up because of the painful inconvenience of getting that god-awful stuff out of that tube, then this little device is a real blessing.  I mean, i work all day.  I shouldn't have to squeeze my own tooth paste too. 

All kidding aside though, it actually works pretty well.  I'd like to see how it actually does get that last drop out of the tube though.
