   OK, I'll take you up on the one hour. $150 for finding out what I   
   missed. I'm always willing to learn.   
      
   Of course, the advice must be useful as measured by a material model   
   improvement, not duplicate what I have already done, and not call for   
   additional data that is not available or does not even exist. If your   
   advice calls for a statistical model beyond Excel's capability I can   
   rent something else.   
      
   All I need from you if the work is useful is sufficient info for a   
   PayPal, Venmo or Zelle transfer.
