Hi all, Larry Raymond and I spent an enjoyable day finishing the Hall Summit
quad which he'd been working on. The wind caused some problems but we did
fairly well considering the available habitat. We had no bold-face misses,
anyway. The knee is getting much better. Although I certainly didn't do any
jumping or running, I was on it all day.
