Many years ago, just after I had taken over as Division Chief Engineer, 
an engineering mentor [and former college professor] send me a framed 
sign reading:

"Exactly what part of 'Good Enough' did you not understand?"

Maybe he knew Milt.

I'm beginning to believe that my K3 at 4.14 has surpassed "good enough," 
at least for me.
