What's with the math on the calcium % of CEC. Its saying that you've got more than your soil can actually hold? Is that even a problem? Other than that it looks good to me!

I think the target for the calcium CEC % to be 100% would correlate to 3000 ppm on the left side of the sheet. Comparing to a previous year. I feel like I’m too high on that and my sodium levels. Hoping that some good watering of my cover crops helps to wash that number down a bit.

You applied gypsum or something to get it that high? Or you have calcium carbonate rock in your soil? Should be alright. Some people would say 1 ppm boron per 1,000 ppm calcium, so your boron could be boosted a bit perhaps, but you know what you are doing... New California record squash coming up!
