Why do I occasionally open the wrong post by mistake?
--- I will say up-front that the solution isn't unique, and you will probably think of half a dozen or so solutions that fit the question.

Stan, do you see it as a hobby to solve my puzzles? (grin)
Yes, that is the solution - well done! I'm curious though, Stan - do you (or anyone else out there with the initial letter "S") have the same problem?
