Sourdough prognosis: fair to good

It's not given up the ghost, yet. In fact, it looks to be quite healthy after a few flour-heavy feedings and access to the open air. It looks like a pancake batter, and according to my guidelines, that's just how it should be. The smell has either settled down to a more beery, yeasty tang or I've got accustomed to it and don't retch every time I have to feed it. Not sure which. I will attempt to use it this weekend.
