We may see colder weather start to come back in January after a brief respite. The market had been oversold and we've seen new length coming in.

We still think Tyrus will be ready to go. He did all he could do and he felt a little pain, which is going to happen. He took himself out of contact and he'll come back and try to go a little longer.
