Management bought fancy diagnostic tablets but half the crew won't touch them

Watched our lead tech fight with the new software for an hour before he threw his hands up and went back to his beat-up manual. I get it, my first time with a scan tool I almost ordered parts for a problem that didn't exist. @holly796 has a point about gut checks, my dude's instincts found a broken ground the computer said was fine. But these tablets aren't meant to replace that, just give you another angle. Maybe show them how pulling up a live data graph can prove their hunch right in front of the customer.

I finally saw a massive timber frame barn being raised upstate.

That 'outlive his house' thing misses why pocket screws WORK fast.

Pushing back against the 45-day dry-aging trend in my shop

Totally get where you're coming from, @markcoleman, lol. Felt the same way about the long wait. What I ended up doing was asking my local butcher for a 21-day dry age. It gives you a bit of that deeper flavor without going full 45 days, and you get your steak way sooner. Found it was a perfect middle ground for me, still clean but with a little more going on. The shorter wait just made it easier to actually enjoy the process instead of just staring at the fridge.
