OK, maybe I'm too sick for this... but.. where do you think I'm confusing
tstart and tstop?

If I'm not using sybase anymore, where do I get these associated planned
commands?
If I just use an earlier command state (by 3 days) at this line in the
code, we're just ignoring pitch-changing commands for those three days from
that command state until backstop commands start.

Also, maybe part of my problem is that I'm just nodding my head instead of
fully understanding
"so that the pseudo-node temperature can converge."

(I know, but I couldn't figure out a more reasonable place to put it just
yet).
