Well put...Judging by the spelling, structure, and punctuation of your post I'd say that you nailed your gravities perfectly.

My beers always finish close enough to the gravity that I'm expecting that it simply isn't necessary for me to check. I honestly cannot remember the last batch I made that didn't finish where I expected (from a personal taste perspective, which is the only perspective that matters to me). I guess I don't need a hydrometer or refractomer to tell me what my taste buds will tell me anyway.I can see there are not that many posts to this thread but I am intrigued by the amount of responses that have said I don't take FG readings. I am not one to judge but I figure part of the enjoyment of brewing is fermenting and at least getting a beer in the ballpark of where a FG should be. I don't really find taking a gravity reading all that challenging either. I had a California Common that I fermented with Wyeast 2112 a month ago. I fermented it at 60 degrees and left it there for 2 weeks. I figure at this point its done and check the FG. It was at 1.030 only have come down from 1.052. If I would have just transferred that beer and been done with it without checking I would have been upset. Oh well I know its homebrewing and you can do whatever you like but I guess I look at gravity readings as essential as checking your mash temps. Brew on!!
