And I know you hatch tons, so I'm betting you know what you are doing! Well, I am going to see how this hatch does and go from there. If I said anything right now, my DH would go crazy, he's already having a rough time with this whole incubation thing. I wouldn't even think to ask him to change the setup now! 

Both setups make sense to me for different reasons, but I bet yours will turn out to be better! No doubt, for you are one to worship!

So what did you read for your research? NOT that I don't trust you know what you are doing, but I like to read about stuff like that and try to understand it in my own head! Kind of the same reason I had to get a water wiggle going, so I could see the 99.5 degrees that stays pretty steady, instead of averaging the high and low from the thermometer. Again, drove my DH crazy, he felt I did not trust him! Silly man!

Most of us here have the exact same thoughts; you're not alone. :highfive:
 
11/15 quail at at least have something in them; hard to tell with all those spots and a bad light. Maybe 2 quitters? :fl

What I have so far.



This is at Monarch, CO. A place I had avoided for years cause it was off the beaten path and in my mind, too small for me to waste time on. It was great. Lots of terrain, just a short vertical. The top was on the continental divide.
It was sooo much cheaper than the bigger areas. (Breckenridge lift pass = $160, Monarch lift pass = $84)
At the bigger areas, a senior discount is for 65 and over (2 months short). At Monarch, 61 gets a senior pass. $55 for a full day and $47 for a half day.
Skiing at Monarch and Keystone gave me 2 new areas I had never skied.



The cabin we stayed in

Saw a few good t-shirts.
One said, "I drink very little, but when I do, I turn into a different person and that person drinks a LOT!"
For another less appropriate ditty, PM me.

How did the water wiggle compare to averaging the highs and lows?
I think, without scientific study, one should use the lower figure as that closer to the internal egg temp.
