Day traders' hooray it's the weekend lounge May 21 - 23

Thanks afternoon crew. What a week. I'm heading into the wilderness tomorrow with a rucksack and tent, some buddies and several litres of red wine. If you don't hear from me on Monday, follow the trail of empties to the Wild Dog Mountains.

Have a good one, whatever you do.
