Downtime for systems - a bad thing. Downtime for people - priceless.

OK, it’s an overused line, but true none the less. After well over a year with no serious vacation, I spent the past week and a half with family in mid-west. A week on the shore of Lake Eerie boating with the kids and setting off a few hundred dollars worth of fireworks (something we can’t do in California). With the exception of a couple dozen mosquito souveniers it was just the battery recharge I needed.
