Weigh In #10 - Tales from the Scales

Hoping there’s a new challenge coming soon?

One Thousand Gifts - Part 75

Weigh In #8 - Tales from the Scales

Virtually stayed the same. Technically up .6, but in the world of rounding, there’s no change.
I’ve been practicing the “doing the same thing and expecting something different” insanity here. Got not much else to say on the matter. Let’s talk next week.
