I agree with the other replies that compliment your responsiveness. I'm always impressed by the high level of contributions by all to theis forum.

BTW, regarding the pencil issue. I have a small pencil the length of a golf score keeping pencil, for lack of a better description, but is only twice the thickness of the lead. It looks to be a little thinner and shorter than the one pictured in your kit. I happened upon this pencil many years ago when it came with a promotional Coka Cola playing card set (2 decks, pencil & score pad) in a decoritive metal box. Perhaps specialty manufactures may be a source for a replacement.
