You did well. If you want to do it the git way I can try to help you through.

Edit: these are the changes I ended up with.

Warning: Spoiler!

I definitely want to learn. The end goal would be to learn python, keep gaining an understanding of what's going on under the hood, and at some point contribute in a more meaningful way. I do appreciate the guidance you gave me... just enough to prevent me from getting too frustrated and giving up, while making me bang my head against the wall so it sticks and I learn where to look for stuff. You should be a professor!

That said, I don't have to learn today. I worry about being a drain on your resources while learning/figuring this all out. So up to you, if you have the time to coach me through it, I'll definitely give it a go, and if you got a lot going on at the moment, no hard feelings. In this case, we both have the exact same working code, so either way it'll end up where it needs to go

All added to the doc I am editing. That should bring me to the latest I think? Please keep me apprised should anything else update.

Just wanted to add that I added the following to the command to the works to park my torch 0.2 down from the top as recommended by Phill to prevent some of the offset issues I was having:

So the whole thing with the added code from previous posts becomes:
