It's not difficult and for gathering data and doing all kinds of math automatically it is the bomb but when you have to build a bunch of new files at one time it is mind numbing!

OMGrapefruit!!!! I was gone for 36 hours and I can't catch up!! YOU PEOPLE!!!

I'm going to have to skip to the end, as I've been reading an hour and there are at least 2 more (BIG) pages....geez.

Well, I pipped the very top of the shell.. The little fellow is still in there chirping away.. I couldn't see where it has pipped the membrane or even if it has.. and it didn't look to be shrinkwrapped. I could see a little bit between the membrane and outer shell and saw blood in the veins.. I put it back. I am skeert to go any further just yet!

But with the pip whole I made, I can atleast see that it is still breathing when I shine the light through the bator window down on the top of the egg. So if his breathing slows, I will go in and intervene.
