No rip roaring start here; the exact opposite truth be told. We saw sign, plenty of it, but catching was
another story: easier said than done. So the games begin. I could drone on about this, that, and the other but
reality is too stark to make light at present. Our work is cut out for us here; no milk run this time.

Never ones to shirk a challenge we are geared for battle with all things still favoring success. Time,
conditions, sign, and sufficient motivation seem the solution; we have them all in long supply; a little good
luck wouldn't hurt either.
