    Yay, Rob!  TWO YEARS IN A ROW-woo hoo!  

    I have to admit, though, I didn't read the "official" write up.  

    Beau got his new "outfit" last week.  He likes it better but wishes it were fire retardant so he didn't have to change into his coveralls.  Not sure why I told you all that.

    Good for you, Rob!  I have to admit, too... I didn't really READ it technically, but I did skim it.  :)  I noticed the high points.  But I don't understand Navy speak.  I can't even do military time.
