Thanks; bunion surgery with bone realignment, complete with (reinforcing pins (temporary #1 stainless "rebar"). I wasn't fully healed at the 8 week point, and the doctor had vacation (no backup, we're rural), so I had an extra month in the comfy chair. Gave me time to read the reports...

I think I see what you are talking about. In a video posted by Tomfh in thread 1 at 18 Mar 18 02:42, I can make out a bulge just before the deck hits the ground.
I'm new to the forum, but have been following from the beginning. I see a bulge at the 11/10 intersection below the deck, but I'm fairly sure it's an illusion.
In thread 4, gwideman's photo in the 24 Mar 18 12:37 you can see the traffic signals in the eastbound lanes in the distance.
