thank you, ma’am/sir! I’m definitely gonna start doing that when it stops thunder storming all day every day lol

this makes me feel sooooo much better! I always feel like an idiot not being able to see it from that far away. Sometimes I’m right on top of it by the time I see it lol

yes I know. I do have to finish my complex time though. But I’m at 6/10 hours. So I’m almost there. Then I’m gonna start just going for it and going solo. This forum has made me realize that not doing it is the problem. Which makes sense, considering back when I was forced to get a certain...
