Dammit man... I'm missing not having work 6 days/70+hrs a week too! Maybe I shoulda stayed in NJ after all!!

I have off work for my camping trip/family GTG on Lake Chatuge the week before 7/4 - and I'm still working on RRE. RRE may fall perfectly between phases on my project, so I might get lucky!!
