Ground control to major Tom

I have been quiet the last few months. It is funny how life gets in the way sometimes. I am having an experience I have never quite had before. A child's toy is confounding me. So I have a 2 year old I have put together COUNTLESS toys, some with good directions, some with bad. But never have I run into something as terrible as the swingset (cue dramatic music). The directions are so horrible I am basically doing 4 steps to every 3. Now I am resonably, handy, and I am an engineer, which mean I do read the directions, but this is absurd. Many of the steps would be improved by a simple note stating interesting alignment features like "Climbing Rope Hole" But no instead EVERY page reminds you that to use a tee nut you put the lock washer, then the washer on the bolt! Come on now! I would rather write Windows drivers! And so this has gobbled up much of my life along with the tree-felling and landscaping need to place the swing set. They better love this thing! But I digress, on the N800 front I have 2 projects now where I intend to integrate the N800 inf oto a front end. Can't wait to see how it works out.
