inDropped $340 on a used mortar mixer off Craigslist and it paid for itself in 2 weeks
How many bags did you end up running through it in those two weeks? I did the same thing a couple years back, got a beat up mixer for $200 and figured I'd use it on one job and flip it. Ended up using it on six pours that summer and it's still sitting in my shed. Best money I ever spent on used gear, no question.

inSwitched to synthetic gear oil in my 69 Mustang, now I get it
You ran 30 weight gear oil in a diff for 15 years and it didn't grenade on you first?

inJust realized the Navy dive tables I memorized in 2012 don't match the new US Navy manual at all
Hold up, you memorized dive tables? That's wild. Even back in dive school nobody I knew had the whole thing locked in, we just used the wheel or a chart clipped to the board. The 2008 vs 2023 split is a big deal though, that five minute difference on a 130 foot bottom time is exactly what gets guys bent in the Gulf if they're running old math. Most boats I've been on run a Shearwater, but they still keep the printed tables in the dry bag for backup, and the whole crew better be reading from the same version. I'd bet half the guys out of Galveston are still working off whatever their instructor handed them in 2010 and don't even know the manual changed.
