Thanks for all the words everyone, it’s already appreciated.

To elaborate further

1). Production timeline is indefinite.  I fully expect that there will be a couple moves and household changes before I even get started on one.  Thus placing me in the “wannabe” category Greg described.  As such I have time to examine options.

2). Hank, already appreciate your input on the logistical constraints that I certainly didn’t factor in.  Given my above timeline, I think that will need to be considered later on, when the build starts sometime in the near future.

3). Given Cliff’s inputs, I believe that what I am more interested in is described as a “flyer.” My interest in the R300 even marries up with a spitballed operating depth of 300 ft.  

4). Eager to meet folks face to face, hoping that some events pop up soon.

I don’t have the time or space to start a project in the next couple years, which gives me some time to figure out if I can develop the skills to make a go of this, as I’m not much of a project guy at the moment.

Is it enough to do some focused reading in Busby to get the ball rolling?  Criteria I think I’m interested in
