Hey Brian, it's good to have you back!
I had forgotten about this project and was surprised to see it re-surface. It's great to see such a complicated finished and working to plan. It must have been quite a task to keep all of that young energy focused and moving in the right direction.
Thanks for sharing it.
Tom
