PSA: that 'limited edition' box is usually just cardboard with foil on it, check the seams before you pay

Pro tip: label your glue pots before you leave for a long weekend, or you will spend 45 minutes on a Tuesday scraping the wrong one out of your pot

Rant: everyone says broken links mean a site is dead, but the Geocities page for my uncle's boat shop in Sandusky is still up and I just spent 20 minutes on it

Thought mic'ing my amp with a $12 RadioShack mic was a joke, then it beat my SM57 on our demo

Stop selling case-ready pork as "dry aged" at the counter on 9th, I watched a guy pay $18/lb last Saturday

Who's gonna tell them what aging actually means?

Ruined 3 weeks of my habit tracker because I wrote in pen instead of pencil

Honestly I did the exact same thing last month and ended up ripping the page out entirely, which just made it worse cause now the notebook has a gap. I keep a little pencil case with just my layout pencils and a white eraser now and it has saved me so many times. The taped square thing is real though, you are not overthinking it at all.

Thought PVA glue was a shortcut for beginners, a guy in Portland changed my mind

My buddy ran into the same thing, 10 year old PVA spines still going strong.

Stop trusting your tool offsets after a crash, I learned the hard way last shift

Did you catch the collet shift right away or did it take a few parts before things started looking off? I had a similar deal where the holder looked fine but the taper had a tiny ding that only showed up once things got hot, and it cost me way more than 15 minutes of checking would have. Good on you for slowing down and doing the full once over, that habit pays for itself.

Ever had a torque wrench moment where you felt like an idiot?

Man, I did the exact same thing with my lug nuts for years, just zipped them on in a circle until a tire guy set me straight. Now I always snug them in a star pattern first before torquing anything down.
