Thanks. Actually, you missed me by a couple hours. At 7:45ish I was approaching the Avalon - Willey Range Trail junction. I started the Willey Range hike a little after 6:00. The day had a crazy start time; but it also had an early finish. I needed an early finish because I had an early start...

C'mon, I'm not doing anything special. If they tell me the units are waterproof, I'm probably going to get them wet, really wet. After all, they didn't say "a little waterproof". They said "waterproof". They said take them swimming. BTW... I like the way you think. Do you think Siemens...

Hey Sue, The same to you. ;) Pat, I sometimes I don't remember names and faces as well as I should but being unable to hear a friendly greeting or other comments when I'm right beside a person is very frustrating. Again, sorry. On the other hand, I also agree with Sue on this one. Here's a...
