Thanks again.

Man, you are up early for Hawaii time.

I have family that lives in Kona Kai. I'm always up early when we visit. Makes it hard to stay awake for the fun the rest of the day :)

I want to complete the combine in one billing cycle. I am allowing myself one reset, then pass or fail. I don't plan on endlessly taking combine after combine.
