Wait, did you actually save the original files or just rely on cached copies the whole time?

Told my buddy Dave about this and he laughed, said he used to hide his Saga trades in a paper bag on the L train for like a year. Then one day some old lady peeked in and asked if it was any good, so he just handed it to her reading the first issue over her shoulder. Now he brings the whole stack out in the open, even reads them at the bar after work. He says the worst thing that ever happened was one dude asked him for a rec and they ended up trading books for a month.

My buddy Mike bragged about his marathon time then cried after 10 minutes of rowing intervals at a box in Falls Church.

Cheap can get real expensive real fast.

Blew my mind the same way about three years back. I switched to a drier mix on a small garden wall after watching my cousin's old man do it, and that thing has sat through two nasty winters without a single hairline crack. My earlier attempts followed the bag to the letter and ended up looking like a damp cake that someone kicked. The secret really is in beating it into place and not trying to make it pretty while it's wet. Makes me wonder how many of our "modern" methods are just shortcuts that nobody bothered to question.
