Sorry Kenneth. I'll try to not let that happen again. Nothing like scrolling
thru a dozen posts to get to the last. So be it. New here so can always

Temp of what? Water, air or my fever?

Water was the baby bottle kinda method. Did not feel warm. My air temps have
been between 70-75 degrees heated with a wood stove.
I've waited 3 days. I used Crystal Springs bottled water and supposedly
organic unbleached flour from a health nut friend.
