(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)
Trying something new -- I'll be adding an extra 1/2 gallon that I plan to throw out to help with keeping hop debris out of the fermenter.
Trying something else new -- adding a little Calcium Chloride CaCl2 and Gypsum CaSO4 as recommended using this tool (http://www.brewersfriend.com/water-chemistry/).
Target water salt additions will be (for 11.02 gallons RO water):
Baking Soda: .5 grams
Gypsum CaSO4 = 11 grams
Calcium Chloride CaCl2 = 4 grams
Specific Amounts:
Mash - Gypsum: 5.739564428 grams
Mash - Baking Soda: 0.2608892922
Mash - Calcium Chloride: 2.087114338
Sparge - Gypsum: 5.260435572 grams
Sparge - Baking Soda: 0.2391107078
Sparge - Calcium Chloride: 1.912885662
Note, these additions are for the total water volume of 9.26 gallons, so it should be distributed as needed equally to the mash and sparge volumes.
Collected .25 less water than expected, which I think was due to evaporation heating up mash/strike water. I used my 20 gallon pot to heat liquid this time, and the large surface area has high evaporation.
After primary fermentation, dropped temp to 60F for 1 day. Brought back to 70F and added dry hops on 5/3/2016.

Gravity Estimates
Based on boiling 9.10gallonsliters at 1.036 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 2.00gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.044.
You wanted an OG of 1.046. It looks like it will be under.
