We got the tracks on the GM, so were able to give the Ford a rest. Back on station this was a winning week for Brad. Other than his Bingo domination last Sunday, he also won at pass the ace at TGIF. As well, the two of us won best team costume at Saturday's Halloween party for our creative space suits. In other news we are a bit concerned about one of the fish, Gibson, so if anyone has anything they'd like us to say to him now might be a good time. Hope everyone has a great week. Steph and Brad
