Now you've complicated up the transfer code just to avoid a delay loop.
Technically, every bit of code will eventually fail. What happens if the
transfer code bombs before it writes the .end file? I will say that in many
years of using the delay loop mechanism with a 3 second delay, I've never
had it fail on me.

Be careful of what you headbutt. Some doors are not as sturdy as they might
