That'll be a chrome valve stem cap John!!

I have quite a few more to use if people like it. I am a trivia nut and thought it may give us a little more to think about for the winter months.

Not so fast!!

You must now complete prize form #QA233-5677.202 in four carbon copies with a lot of very personal and potentially compromising information. It must then be analyzed by the Minnesota election review board for accuracy and then if you did not make any mistakes your valve stem cap will be shipped to you for a small shipping and handling fee six to eight weeks after your check clears.

If that has got to happen, I am in trouble! No doubt they will decide I really didn't win, and it will take them until the end of December to decide!

Looks like either the postman wanted the cap worse than I did, or Jim saw that "Prize Patrol" writing on the envelope and thought he just won his retirement!

I am betting someone is cussing Jon for throwing a wrench in the works at the Post Office! I hope valve cap hosed the machine up really good... serve them right for losing my Chrome Avery Valve Cap!

Things do have a way of taking on a life of their own when Rollagians are involved!!!

I can't help but think that you're lucky it was just an envelope in the mail. Not sure you'd want this "prize patrol" to show up at yer front door!
