Dropped $1,200 on a "barn find" 1966 Mustang that turned out to be a flood car from Houston

That mud in the frame rails is the tell nobody checks before handing over cash.

Hot take: our board game group's villain phase broke the whole campaign 5 sessions in

Oof, six sessions of wrong monster rules is a gut punch. Honestly just blame Dev, it's always the host's fault (kidding, kinda).

Spent 2 years cooking frozen fries at 400 degrees, then my sister asked why they were always burnt outside and raw inside

I did 425 for years because I figured hotter equals crispier, but a buddy in Nampa told me 375 for 22 minutes and it fixed everything. Now they actually come out golden instead of black outside and frozen in the middle.

Just realized I stopped hand-packing wheel bearings with a grease gun in 2019 and I'm not sure it was the right call

Switched to the grease gun and my arms definitely don't miss the workout from packing bearings by hand. Honestly though I'm not sure the bearings noticed the difference, they don't exactly send me thank you cards. Figure if it's good enough for the pros it's good enough for my old truck.
