Could be wrong, but I believe I remember being told the permit for BKP1 applied here as well, so there was no need to go through the process again. Don't know if that will be a limiting factor in testing this well or not, but I suposed it's possible the allowable volume may have gotten adjusted. Anyone know? I only bring it up so that in case this is a limiting factor, the expectations of some here are not going to be unrealistic going into the test . OT: "Bracing for tomorrow's Vesuvius (Mt. St. Helens to you, Hops). S&P"> Salty, congrats, you must be on work release at the moment. It was pointed out to me the other day that I don't have a sense of humor, so I'll stick to facts. The "in" locals are kinda' watching Mt. Rainier and Mt. Baker out of the corner of their eye these days. That is, of course, when they can take their eyes off their personal seismometers. So anyway, between these potentially bigger volcanoes, the shallow faulting, and the two different types of deep subduction quakes the NW is susceptible to, the Mt. St. Helens specter had been relegated to the closet lately. Thank you for bringing it to my attention again. On a personal note, my world was really shaken up last Wednesday. Of course I was in California getting drenched, at the time, but on getting home, found my globe had been shaken off a high bookshelf in my office and had landed next to the trash can. It had suffered a dent in the Atlantic, just off Namibia (which of course means that the West Coast was looking up and in good shape). The other item of note that fell was a decoy (a wooden duck), from a high perch on the opposite wall. It landed pointing south. Omens? I'm sure somebody with good interpretive abilities could make something of all that symbolism. Hoppy Trails
