Thanks, Marje. I had thought perhaps since it looked like he had tried to clear the bounce last night, but fizzled out that it was time for an increase. With the level of bouncing going up (higher numbers), and seeing that he had been so good at clearing bounces much faster than 6 cycles, pretty consistently, these new patterns are harder for me to understand.
Got a +3.25 =268, and will take another test around +5 just to make sure he's fine.
