Good job dream.  If they keep up this steady well managed progress, ome might exoect a small dividend increase in 2019.  Until then just pay down debt or fund acquisitions.  Even beyound 2019 if they are making good progress on those items a dividend increase is not really needed.  Continue to use investors money wisely and I am happy.
