Having tracked these numbers for - uh - I forget how many days now, I know personally how easy it is when you're checking numbers with your eyeballs, while you've got one of your eyeballs on where you're typing to input those numbers! I made that mistake early-on, myself. It's pretty easy to do. So, now, I type something in and then hold the phone up so I can compare the number I just typed in really closely, without even having to glance away from the screen to the photo in my phone.

It's tedious work, but worth it, I think, so it allows folks here to see where, how, and how badly it's going.

AND the sequencing is valuable, too, because of what you were just able to discern, Trailrider1951. Educated guesses are sometimes the best and most sensible tools we have.
