I deleted the chainstate and installed 0.18, ran Core to completion.
Deleted Armory databases and started the scan and rebuild process.

Armory is for sure loading much differently this time around. Instead of the "Node" loading quickly,
it is now taking it's sweet time and giving detailed info it never did before.

"Node Status" = 28% 169113 blocks remaining...............

Fingers crossed...............     We'll see how it goes........
