inThe $600 hardline hose kit that never fit my Grove
What did the guy say when you told him the fittings were off, did he offer to make it right or just vanish on you? I only ask because I see these "fits most models" kits all over the place and the guys selling them never seem to stick around after the sale. Seems like the smart play is having a local shop measure your actual connections before they bend anything, that way you know it fits before you're stuck in Tulsa with a crane that can't work. Two days and $340 sounds like a deal compared to eating $600 plus another $120 in return shipping, lol. Did the shop keep your old fittings on file so the next set is a quick phone call?

inJust realized I check my bank balance 4 times a day now instead of once every two weeks
Man, this hit close to home. I do the exact same thing and my number barely moves either, yet somehow that doesn't stop me from tapping the app open like it's gonna tell me something new. The part about looking to feel better and it never working is the real kicker, that loop is brutal. My wife gives me the same look when I'm squinting at my phone in the driveway before I even go inside. Going two weeks without checking used to feel normal and now two hours feels like forever, which is kind of sad when you think about it.

Two weeks in Seattle changed my mind on job site radios
The "background noise can make or break a crew's rhythm" part got me thinking about how sound actually travels on site. On a big open build everyone hears the same thing, but once you're in a bunch of closed rooms the radio just turns into a muffled mess and the guys inside lose whatever calm it was giving them. Maybe the NPR thing worked because those rooms had ceiling tiles and drywall softening it, so it hit the ears more like white noise than talk.
