Team, I'll be away on vacation, celebrating both summer and the freedoms of our country, with my family from 02 - 12 Jul.  Tom has the con while I'm away, although he may be slated for shoulder surgery during the same time.  Just realize that our normal "lickety-split" response times might be diminished a bit during that time.  All the best for a safe, healthy and happy Independence Day!

Team USA, I'll be away on vacation with the family 23-26 Aug.  I'll have some internet access on my phone, but won't be around a computer.  Tom will be in command.

You guys were good when I was away last month; thank you for that.  I appreciate not having to clean up after the livestock and barn animals in my office.  Be good to Tom; I want him coherent and not in a straight jacket (again) when I get back.

You take more time off than the president.  That needs to stop.  This position is vital to the operations of VATSIM and as such vacation time is not authorized, and overtime is required on your exempt salary.  Get back to the emails! :P

Enjoy your vacay!

Just FYI, Don had some sort of work-related software meltdown yesterday, and had to leave the country on very short notice. Unknown duration at this time. I was able to take the handoff, even though I was half asleep at the time and there was no data tag.  :)

Good news is I'm still in the country.  Bad news is that it was a hardware issue, and it made National and International news....  Ouch!  Thanks for taking the handoff, Tom!
