Jeebo72,
It was bench time, me thinks. As the planning bit started back in 2006 as I saw the crazy credit bubble heading for 1929 proportions, and began a large increase to the old warchest, as time-off seemed a sure thing at some point. So this bench time has been a lot of fun due to having several different holidays and much time working on Plan B.
