Glad that worked out for you, man. It's always a good day when some random stranger's tip actually saves you time instead of just wasting it.

A thousand nights just for dust, my brain can't even process that.

Wait, a phone book from 1994? Who even has those anymore?

It's funny how often the best tricks come from regular people who just live with the problem every day. They know every quirk and odd noise their appliances make, so they've got a different kind of expertise. Kind of like how my neighbor figured out that his truck's check engine light only goes off if you jiggle the gas cap just right. It's not in the manual, but it works every time. Those little hacks from daily life are usually more practical than what you learn in a class or a book.

Yeah that "use your legs" thing is something I read in an OSHA pamphlet once. They had this whole diagram showing how your spine compresses when you hunch over. I ignored it until I threw my back out reaching for a scribe that fell under the workbench. Took me three weeks to get back to normal. For those tight fuselage jobs, I started using a small rolling stool. Keeps my core straight and I can scoot around without twisting my torso every five seconds. Also, take breaks. Standing up and walking around every 20 minutes makes a bigger difference than you'd think. It's boring advice but it works.
