Freds 73 Scamp restore on a budget

We're practically twins,lol. But I've been stuck in this rut for over two summers.

I guess there is a reason God says to not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, and 2 can put ten times as many to flight as one, and we need to work in pairs in case one falters, etc.
I have been looking for a study-Buddy, since the last one abandoned me when I mention Enclosed Earth System. There are not very many like me around. In 6 plus years, I have only found six, and only 4 are on the same part of the curve as me, and of those, only two are locals.
But it seems to me that the more I understand my reason for being here,and what God expects of me, the less I need or want a study-Buddy, so IDK, I don't mind being alone anymore.
