Isn't that the truth, @grant.sam? I got a new phone last year and it loads pages so fast I can't even blink before my brain has to catch up.

Oof, always use a plastic spudger for this stuff.

Ha! Tell me about it @johnflores. I spent three straight hours naming my levain and reading it bedtime stories before I remembered I had laundry sitting in the washer for two days.

Making a sourdough starter act out because you moved cities sounds like overthinking it to me. Most likely you just got lazy with the feedings or the water changed enough to throw off the bacteria balance for a bit. Three years is a good run, but starters are finicky little things that can crash from something as simple as a different tap mineral level. You fixed it with a scale and bottled water, so was it really that deep or just a coincidence?

Reminds me of when I showed up late to a yard sale and all the good stuff was gone lol.
