i've always thought that a 'good run' is such an oxymoron but by the end, a person does feel good, even exhilarated. and while running the mind tends to go over issues. the most prominent for mine would be spq.

and i was thinking in the midst of exhilaration about the pp.

if you talk to the fwr guy or the uc guy or the not guys(oops, can't talk to them), they will all tell you in various ways that the value in the ground is mind boggling.

so here we have a major posting some serious cash at a tough time. nn is told that tonnage is required and knows that much more drilling will be needed. so he gets someone to put money on the table for him so he can drill his butt off so when a major wants more or even wants to buy spq, the price for the buyout will be higher because that major gave nn the means to find the tonnage and up the price in doing so.

at that point i stopped running because i was no longer paying attention to what i was doing and running into things .

and if it's good for finding tonnage(at no cost to nn), and therefore good for spq's overall situation, then it will be good for me.

a thought almost as exhilarating as the end of a run!!
