Good Day Plums:

I must say your posts have helped me keep the faith.

I am a captain on a ship up here on the Great Lakes, right now we are on Northern Lake Huron heading to Windsor,ON Can with a 23,000 tons of limestone mined out a open pit Lafarge Quarry on Manitoulin Isld,On Can.

Your knowledge combined with the patience to help us out with what is going on here have been a great help. My internet connection is through a stablized VSAT sattelite broadband and can be slow. Hence I do not say much. However, I was not trying to usurp your explanation of the winter drilling issue but say "come on people until you have worked under those conditions you have no idea of what it can be like." I do go ice fishing in the minus 30s but to work in it is an incredible challenge.

Thanks for your insight and good luck to us all. (Although I really think luck is not the issue rather, depending on the great mangement team we have here.)
