I actually got a little frustrated with the whole idea and decided to let it rest for a little while. Not quitting, just backing off for a bit.
Not to mention that we're done mowing, and not yet snowthrowing...so I don't have any big push to get it rolling.
I think I'll go after it this weekend and see what I come up with. I'll typically be either "all in" or "all out," so this weekend may yield some results (or further frustration.)
Thanks for providing further motivation though guys! That's one of the great side benefits of documenting my project here. I don't feel like it's just me and the Cub!
