    It went well.  I did not finish, though.  It was such a short challenge.  I learned a lot about bio digesters.  Very cool!

    Joining the Challenge added incentive to do the things I have am trying to do on a daily basis.  Getting credit for it makes it easier to remember and encouraged me to turn off the screen and go for a walk!
