Good to have you back. Since you left us, Brad & Jennifer split, Michael J. is in trouble again, Britney is "with child" , and the list is about the same. A whole bunch of good folks, always happy to help.
But don't have a clue about what to do about the $$$. I'm in a similar position (again). Do you have any stashed parts that may be worth something now?? I've been going thru my stuff, trying to decide if I need IT or the $$$ more. Sounds like you have a sweet plan. Good luck.
