Hey everybody!
I wanted to give an update as of today, 12/21/2016.
I was going to catch up with VEs today but have been fighting a nasty virus won't be able to work today.
My family holiday starts tomorrow and I'll be "out of the office" til late next week. I don't like to get this far behind but I don't need to push things.
Thanks for your understanding and patience. I'm looking forward to a strong 2017 here on the site!
Happy Holidays to everyone - Bryan
