I don't claim to be a numbers person. I could claim that, but it would be a lie, and I just know that my 10th grade algebra teacher would show up at my door demanding an explanation.
But this isn't complicated math. I find myself capable of understanding the logistics of it. That's how simple it is.

Yeah...Day 15 looks kind of daunting. Until you realize what you have to find just a week later.
I wonder how much a metal detector costs?
I was thinking Day 11 looked daunting, but yeah, Day 15 does too, and everything after that. I'm looking forward to see how this all goes!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm really interested to see how far along it actually works, and how soon it starts to break down.
