Spent 4 hours fixing a crooked face frame joint

Man, that is painful but so relatable. I had a similar thing with a cabinet door where I kept adjusting the hinges and even swapped out the screws. Turned out the box itself was racked just a hair from the drywall not being flat behind it. Slid a shim behind the box and it clicked right into place, but I had already wasted a whole afternoon on it. Nothing worse than chasing a ghost like that, right?

Took me 40 episodes into One Piece to realize I was watching filler arcs on purpose.

Whoa wait, you made it through 30 episodes before you caught on? Man, @mark_cooper, I gotta hand it to you, that's some next level patience because I would've checked out by episode 5 of any ninja training arc that was clearly going nowhere. In my experience, that filler list is a lifesaver, I use it for everything now and I swear it cuts my watch time in half.

Why I switched from band saw to breaking down primals by hand

Am I the only one who thinks the band saw isn't the problem though Angela43? I've been using one for years and I honestly don't notice much waste if you take the time to set up your cuts right. That kerf loss might add up over a whole case of primals, but the speed and consistency it gives me means I'm not fighting with a handsaw for an hour.

Had a chimney fire call last week that was almost a disaster

Three inches of creosote in the flue" sounds off to me. Even in the worst cases, it's usually more like a quarter inch or half inch build up, never seen it actually reach inches thick like that.

Just found out my town's property taxes went up 23% this year

Call your town assessor and ask for a review like I did @uma_webb28.
