Not ready to post my pics yet, as I have copious amounts of research to do (which will mainly involve throwing two tennis balls and seeing which one my dog picks).

Twisty, in the round 2 thread, you mentioned you would need someone to start the round 5 thread. I will volunteer for that task, however, it doesn’t look like that really needs to start until about the 17th. If you still want me to start it up for you, let me know.
