i’m getting a little better with my frothing. Two things that are helping, stop stretching the milk earlier–around 80F and spinning the pitcher before pouring into the cup. That last one needs some explanation, after frothing the milk, slam the pitcher on counter to settle the bubbles then rotate the pitcher in a circle on the counter this push the milk to the sides of the pitcher (centrifugal force and all that) and mix the milk mixture.

This tightens up the mixture, i’m still nowhere close to getting latte art to appear, i can’t figure out the pour technique–at some point i’m hoping to have my epiphany wrt to latte art.
