Welcome back, Chuck!  I'm sorry to hear of your and your wife's losses, and I'll say a prayer for the ladies and for you both, too.

Do you find this work therapeutic?  I know I do.

In the meantime, this is another great update!  I'm trying to draw inspiration from your scratching techniques, and I look forward eagerly to each of your updates.  And your eye for detail is just impressive!  I never would have spotted the extended strut length.  Good catch.
