Pretty good overall. Life and work can be stressful. It's obviously been a different year for everyone on top of the normal stuff. The smoke must have been brutal down there. We had it get pretty bad coming up from OR (I think) for a couple weeks, but thankfully it's been much better.

Good to be seen Steve. It's been a while, I got slammed, then my password didn't work for a while. Loosing Butch was a surprise for me read about. How are you?
