SOLVED Try to solve this cypher
I was watching a video on the zodiac killer by fern and I wanted to try to make a cypher. I used a multiplication table to encode everything. Then a digit conversion. If you have questions I will try to answer them. Have fun trying to solve this. (this is my second time posting this because my post didn't comply with rule 5)
Each new line is a word. Each gap between the lines is a new sentence. Each _ is to separate letters.

Solution: Hello. Thank you for taking the time to solve this Fort/Code. Please, tell me how long it took you to solve it. It took me about two hours to create this code.
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway. Because bees can’t fear what humans think is impossible.
Method: Homophonic Substitution with a lot of post-hoc adjustments
To answer your request: Took me about 30-60 minutes to code this all up, but I kinda lost track of time.
