Sure, any time. By the way I am out in the Carribean next week. I will catch
you all the week after.

Quick update on my side on the lazy CB stuff, I made some progress on using
the bypass lists for lazy CBs, its looking good and builds now. I fixed bug
in my code where idle loop was flushing lazy CBs on its way to idle.. I think
its probably O(workingdays) away from v2 posting assuming all goes well.

thanks,
