inThe Worst Brake Week I Ever Had vs. The Best, and I Can't Decide Which Taught Me More
Rusty bolts teach you way more than a clean job ever will. A 45 minute brake job just means the truck wasn't from the north lol.

inJust realized I stopped dragging a ladder to every pruning job after a homeowner in Bend handed me her pole saw
Test the cut with the pole saw first, then only grab the ladder if the wood feels punky.

inBlind bought Terraforming Mars for $70 at my FLGS in Boise, biggest board game regret of my life
Ha, yeah that first play can be rough if nobody knows the rules. What fixed it for us was having one guy learn it ahead of time and run the game, plus we all did our turns at the same time instead of going around one by one. Cut it down to like 90 minutes and now it's a favorite.

inOld brake shop off Route 9 taught me something my $600 kit couldn't
@reese_patel see I gotta disagree there. The ABS thing cuts the other way for me. If most drivers never push the brakes hard enough to kick in ABS, then having it doesnt make you safer in daily driving, it just sits there. Same with all the new tech, lane keep and auto braking and all that. People start leaning on it and stop paying attention, which is how you end up in the ditch anyway. Old cars make you feel every bump and slide so you actually learn what the road is doing under you. New cars kinda hide all that from you until its too late. So yeah the human braking point is real but it makes me trust the old stuff more, not less.
