Time to step away from the snow globe Dave, gain some distance and perspective, think things through. That sounds like the perfect use for a secluded north woods deer camp! The mind can accomplish almost anything if you give it time and space, like while building a sauna or a porch roof, for example.
I find this old tenet humorous but strangely inspiring: When you are up to your ass in alligators it is sometimes difficult to remember that your initial objective was to drain the swamp. However, if you persevere in draining the swamp you will often find that your alligator problem has also been resolved.
BTW, why the h___ is Minnesota so far from Pennsylvania? A Chickenbuck weekend sounds like serious fun.
