You're welcome, anytime.
I look forward to your deal moving forward, it may help me with mine, we'll see. I have no doubt you will continue to nail your builds.
I have spent a lot of time thinking about this as it pertains to my builds and quickly realize I'm too old for this, not enough time and perspective to dig in with my requirements.
It is what it is, and I'm good with it as anyone can tell, only so much time in the day, life, whatever.
The Strawberry was even a huge challenge for me and was handled somewhat differently but still defies most standard conventions, so be it.
These convolutions allow me to really enjoy logging miles, couldn't be so without them.
