progress comes to a screeching halt

i thought the long hours the last few days would be due to productive work. instead, i have been troubleshooting a problem with my hardware. i have followed many red herrings and still have no idea what the problem is. i just hate to leave without figuring out the problem. hold on........wait......i 'm lying. i am GLAD to be going home for a week and a half. i'll just have to pick up the trail when i get back. hopefully, it won't take too long to get back on the progress train.

it's friday, it's late, i'm starving, and............................... i leave sunday. be back in couple weeks.
