The only thing that happened this week is that Frank's quary crew came up to the lab to drill the holes we requested on Friday. Boxtop starts next week so I think most of us are just trying to enjoy the relative silence and short meal line-ups while we can. For most of the week it has been very nice out with only a few days where the fog has rolled in. The hand over is going well also, and Maria will get a chance to show me most of the monthly items tommorow. Until next week, Brad
