Fed up with callbacks, I finally started double-checking my batts.

Wait, you actually have a whole "check routine" like it's some kind of system? That's wild to me. I just glance at the total and hope for the best. The idea of going line by line, like checking if they charged you for that extra side of sauce or counting every single almond in the salad... @victor_park46, that sounds so intense. I'd get bored halfway through and just give up. How long does that even take you every time?

Noticed the new townhomes down the block all have taped seams that look perfect

Must be nice to have seams that don't look like a distracted toddler did them. My mud always dries with the consistency of cottage cheese.

My shop neighbor thinks hammer control is everything, but I've had better luck focusing on heat.

Ugh, took me forever to learn that lesson. I finally got it when I stopped guessing and just watched for that bright orange glow every single time.

The lost art of waiting for my great-aunt's dill pickles

How do you keep yourself from peeking after you set the reminder? I tried that once, but my self-control is pretty much a myth. I end up checking every five minutes, which totally defeats the point. Maybe I need a reminder to ignore the reminder, you know? Waiting is like a test I always fail, so props to you for making it work.

Finally figured out a better way to handle quarter cracks, but I'm still lost on one part

Locking the mechanics, huh, so that's grant856's fancy way of saying it finally quit wiggling.
