okay. so the deal is this:

we need a certain part for some engineering thing. and we cant get underway without it.
yet, we dont actually have it.

so we have to wait until it arrives, then the engineers can install it, test it, and then and only then can we get underway and beat the storm.

but no one knows how long it will take for the part to get here, or how long it will take to install and test.

so its "standby" until then.

meanwhile the this storm is comin' in, and it looks real mean. its already drizzling outside...


but either way its about TWO weeks till Norfolk!!
