Damn, Glen, every time I read what you just said my mind goes back over my 1k to 8k journey. If an old fart like me can be astonished and amazed and achieve a working edge, one stage at a time, then all those young whippersnappers that want to start at the finish need to face reality and listen to someone that's been there, done that, and get their nose down to the grindstone (pun, if it is, is intended). Slow goes the race, which isn't a race if it starts as a personal challenge and not as a feat to impress your peers.
