No problem.

The only other 'future suggestion' I have is to look into cable/turnbuckle cross bracing.

As wood expands and contracts eventually all fasteners loosen. A cable cross bracing pulling in tension (which usually means you need X bracing as opposed to / bracing) can be a good long term solution. While it will expand and contract with temperature changes it won't with moisture changes...and as it's a turnbuckle it's much easier to tension or decrease as conditions/seasons change.

You're welcome, and be well. Keep building!

Edit: On the gate...as opposed to a wood 2x4 diagonal.
