Dylan you've got this ability to come up with simple solutions that befuddle most folks because they either overthink it or dont have a clue what they're doing.
Even if you ARE out there with no clue what you're doing, you find a way to make it work and work well. Your determination and unwillingness to accept defeat is inspiring.

And to do all this without getting all bent outta shape, that's huge. I know (now) it's just part of your personality and positive attitude, but this project would be enough to frustrate NORMAL folks to the point of calling in Matt for cleanup
