Awesome. That is a good tip. Thank you

My SB is far too long. I must work on it.

Looking at your solve, it's fine. I can't really follow your SB, but the movecount is good. The only things I'd suggest would be to end your FB with r' F instead of L' U L, and to learn CMLL. That one was an easy case (inverse of sexysledge: F R' F' R U R U' r'), and would have saved you 22 moves, bringing your total down to 43, which is a very good movecount.

Thanks for the advice. I will learn CMLL this summer; saving 22 moves is a lot. Regarding the r' F ending for the first block, I got pretty much the same tip on my last solve from Renslay. I really need to keep my eye on efficient pair insertion. I appreciate the help.
