Yep, that is just exactly as I have it in the spreadsheet.  Naturally, I 
had assumed that you and Fred and I would cover some shifts as needed.  I, 
like you, am waiting for the schedule to fill in so that I can take what is 
left.  So far, all the operators we have are "control" operators. (HF 
privileges) We can run with one operator at a time if necessary, but I sure 
would like to see some of these shifts with 2 people on them.  The second 
person doesn't need to have HF privileges, or even a license for that 
matter.  Working a 4 hour shift by yourself is no picnic.  (especially if 
you are like me and have a 90 minute bladder)  If you can get me the info 
on the operators you have lined up and what times they'd like, I'll put 
them in the spreadsheet.  (If you want to team up with your XYL, I'll put 
y'all on the side as "fill ins" for when the schedule fills in some more.)

To the rest of y'all:  C'mon folks.... I know we're going to have more of 
you at FD than that.  Please pick a shift or 2 and sign up for it.
