Re: Utah first cut

Very impressive video! Looks like a lot of fun was had.

Re: Kinda what I'm thinking about - DP trip

My guess is Rick will want to come home, regroup and get back out there and do it right! Yeah bad vacation days suck. The problem is (correct me if I'm wrong here, as it's been a while. {rub it in Marty..rub it in.}) that employers don't generally give you any vacation days back to do over again. J...
