That's no problem at all, it's hard to wink after writing something. I've been there too. I hope I didn't come off to strong either. Good suggestions about the brakes. Students would run into all kinds of trouble later on with that in the turbines with more weight on the wheels.
Thanks for the post,

Rather than d a normal circuit you find an airport where there is no traffic and no houses near and you do circuits with one minute from touch and go to touch and go.
Actually you can get them shorter than that but one minute gives the best timing for good attitude and airspeed control for the average pilot.
Also I alternate one left hand and one right hand..and a tailwheel airplane is best because you can wheel land and touch and go easier than with a nose wheel airplane.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no
After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.
