Obsession 1. will take me so long that I'll probably die of old age before I'm done with it.
Obsession 2. is probably doomed to failure but I'm going for it anyway.
Obsession 3. will never produce a perfect forecast but my estimates get better as I continue to crunch the numbers.

per obsession 1- just be glad you are not driven to digitally restore [to the nth degree] your tapes [mine must be perfect with not one aural flaw, as each flaw only i seem to be able to hear, nags me to distraction].
per obsession 2- you are doing very well. to be a referee is at a very high level of functioning.
per obsession 3- ditto. most folk can only dream of such a thing.
