Rick is absolutely correct. That's why I scheduled my leave to begin today and end 3 weeks from now! The only obstacles I see are: 1.) I want to stay up to see the results of the election, but I have a track record of scoring in the morning of Nov. 3rd. 2.) I have a dinner meeting to attend on Nov 10th which begins at 6:00pm! [:@], and 3.) My wife has scheduled her parents 50th wedding anniversary party for Opening day of firearms season (over 200 invitees) and she wants me to pitch in heavily on the honey-do's since I'm OFF!!
