[p][br]Thanks for the link. Guests. I'll look at it in the morning.

Going backwards. You won't. Believe in yourself and just sleep on all that practice for a couple of days. I find the same thing from time to time. As fatigue sets in you just keep making more mistakes. At that juncture, it's time to stop. Go back to it after a good night's sleep or a day or so later well rested with no fear. What I discovered is that the mind (directing those motor skills) has learnt and adapted in that time, and what had seemed hard is now either learned, or not the insurmountable previously perceived. My consistent regular experience of which I am always in awe, neither exaggerating or ego embellishing. It's not 'me' (ego) and IDK how it works. I'm merely the observer noting that it just does.

[br]Interested in your experience. GL with it. Chat tomorrow.
