So I finally picked Hiawatha back up today (after the family left and I cooked/fed the kids/husband and got the house to somewhat normal status)…
I’m now starting the LONG chart - the portion at the very end that is made up of 5 vertical charts.

The charts in and of themselves are not difficult, […]
