If you pile all your trips into the first half of May, and then pile all your trips into the last half of June, thats 30 days off in a row.

So if you know your system (and it allows it), getting 15-20 days off that spans two months is relatively easy. I did it a good bit with a previous system.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, I was doing that before 117. I got so sick of working my tail off for those stretches I started to ease back. But it was fairly easy to get a stretch of 10-12 days off when I wanted. Pair that up with 5-6 days off at the beginning of the next month and you have a nice stretch.
