Vent: I thought that new 'dry-aging in a bag' method was just a gimmick.

A sales rep left a sample unit in my shop for a month, and I finally tried it on a rib section. The flavor development was actually impressive, and I lost far less product to trim than with my old open-air fridge. Has anyone else given these systems a fair shake and seen similar results?

My foreman on a job in Tacoma told me 'a clean line is a happy line' after I botched a soldier course.

He showed me his trick of using a story pole with every fifth brick marked in red chalk, and now I won't lay a single one without it.

Finally got a decent shot of the Orion Nebula after doubting my gear

I was sure my basic DSLR and old lens couldn't handle it, but stacking 45 two-second exposures from my backyard proved me wrong. The core detail is way clearer than I expected. What's a target you thought was out of reach that actually worked?
