Holy crap man, that’s a monster cat!  Congrats!

Thank you. A lot of time, frustration, and stubbornness went into this one.

Wow congrats, great story, thanks for sharing.  I am just glad to see I am not the only one that has conversations in my head.  Sounds almost exactly what would be going through my mind....
