ETA: I guess that basic electricity class they get in the 18E course actually paid off...(series, parallel, series parallel curcuits etc, etc)

One of the last days we just started to laugh, we didn't stop laughing for the next 6-8 hours. We'd just look at each other and laugh. I mean tears coming from eyes laughing..... I will never forget that.
