Geary, Geary, - ash trays? Gosh, I hope you don't smoke! Especially after your close call. Really though, I am always surprised at what I can accomplish if I put my mind to it and I don't think any one here is any different. Just look at those beautiful graphites you have been producing. Wow!

I don't think I've done that yet, but I will admit to giving it a pat or a big bear hug from time to time!
