Jude had a lower than normal PMPS yesterday (76)--not the lowest I've shot, but I never feel comfortable shooting those numbers (but I did!). I'm not sure how the +9 cycle snack is going. Jude's numbers are certainly not as predictable as they were before we started the +9 snack--some higher and some lower. I'm not sure if that's the snack or if it's just Jude. We'll see, overtime, I hope.

Have a good day, everyone! Safe surfs for the kitties!

That was some lovely surfing from Jude last night. Good job on shooting in the 70s Mary :)
But then a slightly higher AMPS - I wonder why.

Last night made me very nervous because of that low PS, and then he was barely much higher at +1, +2, so I braced myself for a big drop at + 3. But he remained relatively flat, and that was kind of weird--usually he always has at least a 20 point drop from shot to +3 (and last night, that would have put him in the 50s--so I was sweating that). I'm not sure why he was higher this morning or yesterday morning, or at almost every preshot since I started feeding the snack. I wonder if it's the snack? That's the only change. Also, and somewhat unrelated, I've kind of wondered if he is bouncing on the preshots--he's hit some lower numbers mid-cycle, and it seems when he's had those 50-60 numbers, the end cycle is higher. Not always, but often. If you have any ideas, I'm always open.

Trying to figure out the weird fluctuations sometimes feels like trying to untangle a really crappy skein of yarn, where you end up with piles all around your living room in a trail just trying to find the damn knot. It's so frustrating and hard to see anything! All that to say, I don't have any answers for you, but I can certainly understand your being flummoxed!

Hoping you get some insight in the coming days, whether that means the +9 snack is helping or hindering.

Congrats on shooting that 76!! 😬 I feel like what you saw with the staying relatively flat after seems like what people aim for by shooting low to stay low, so hopefully it was just a really good sign?
