Hi Terry,

The thing that caught my eye above is the "conservative 50 percent for
expenses..". If that is based on actual costs you've worked out, great. It
sounds like more of an off the cuff guess. I'd describe 'conservative' as
an analysis to see how high costs could go and still have a worthwhile
endeavor.
