PCNetSpec,
Ok, I'll delete them this afternoon.
Once again, Thank you so very much for your help.
I'll let you know if there are any issues in the future, but for now everything seems to be operating just fine.
You may close this case if needed.
Regards,

UPDATE 2018-08-08It has been just over a month since making the recommended changes outlined above in earlier posts, and I'm pleased to say that everything is still working and updating properly. I'm not sure if there were any major kernel updates during that time, but everything continues to work perfectly. Thanks again for all of the help and support on this issue.
I'll post again next month to let everyone know how it goes during the month of August, 2018 with updates, but I'm pretty confident that everything will be just fine!
UPDATE 2018-10-08I just wanted to keep everyone up to date on the progress of this fix.
As of today, Monday, October 08, 2018, the fix provided by the great folks on this thread has continued to work flawlessly!!!
Thanks again to all of you!

Happy New Year and Thanks Again!!
