Taking suggestions for SABOS classes

I'll be teaching four classes at the SABOS Spring Show, May 2 and 3, in Live Oak, near San Antonio. More details as they come available.

Which classes would y'all like to have available?
Wander thru my blog and see what has gone before. The projects must fit into a two hour slot, so there are a few that won't work, but lots of other choices...
