@claire992 same here honestly, that's a solid effort. I've never pushed past 30 minutes with the guard on before my arm just gives up lol. That last 15 minutes must have been brutal but worth it.

jones.grace said "How did you even plan anything?" and that hit me hard because I used to feel the SAME way about people who raved about future logs. I thought they were just extra work for no reason. I was a monthly spread purist for like a year. But after losing that sticky note appointment with my dentist, I finally tried it. Now I get it. It took me maybe fifteen minutes to draw six boxes and now I can see everything from June to December without flipping pages. I was wrong about them being a waste.

Had a standardbred gelding out of Texas a couple years back that was like shoeing a rock. Took me over four hours and I blunted two farrier rasps and a pair of nippers before I gave up and hit the grinder. Ended up using a worn down grinding disc and just took the toes back a little at a time, then used a hand anvil and hammer to shape the shoes cold. That horse never flinched. Sometimes you gotta work smarter, not harder.

Blew a fuse on mine at a craft fair, felt like I'd dropped the whole roll in a puddle.

wait, did the guy actually have some old photos of himself or anything to prove he'd been told that for 20 years? that part makes me wonder if he was messing with you or if he genuinely had no clue who Tom Hanks was. lol that would be wild if he was just some dude who looked like a movie star his whole life and never saw the resemblance.
