Weekend Warriors

Welcome to the weekend! Hopefully you are well rested and haven't been bothering your parents. I would suggest getting some of the project finished during the free time you have this weekend. Try to finish or at least start to finish some of the easier jobs in the project so you can worry more about the larger scale problems that your group can work on.

As always, I have a link below this for any questions you may have. Peace out.
