preliminary numbers - activated 10 grids, 462 q's and 135 mults for a
total of 119,610

We had the usual spate of small problems, many of them time-eaters. We
figure we lost about 2 hours of operating time dealing with those.
Getting kicked off Blue Knob early, and a couple of pretty horrible
spots in FN01 and FN21 (we should have gone up the mountain!) didn't
help. Thankfully the 6M opening got us enough grids to compensate and
make it a pretty decent score.

What's really scary is we spent $450 on gasoline .. 1500 miles total
(we reverse roved on Friday to check out new sites). Add in $200 for a
couple hotel nights, and the $/q is up around $1.40!
