Box Top finally ended this past friday and things are going back to normal with their usual mug-ins and parties. Other than the usual routine at the Lab, Gabe has enjoyed a few walks around the station, we played Badminton at the main gym and we spent the sunday afternoon fishing at the Lower Dumbell lake with other CHIMO members.
