[AT] Just testing

[charlie hill]

Hi Ralph,

I  think the thing that most of our old iron needs is to be run hard every 
now and then.  All of them were designed to be run hard but most of them 
don't get it now.   We seem to think hard work will hurt them.

I still don't know how you stand it up there in that cold.  BRRRRR

Charlie
