Finally got my case settled after 3 years in Rancho Cucamonga

$12,500 for three years of waiting is basically pennies not a win.

Just realized I was overmixing my pie dough for years

Jump on that temp drop wyatt mentioned, @drew965 - knocking it down 25 degrees was the game changer for me too, gives the inside time to catch up without the outside turning into a hockey puck.

Shoutout to the old-timer who showed me his trick for spotting hidden creosote glazing

Man, I used to be all about the high-end inspection cameras and thought old tricks were just superstition. But after trying the mirror thing on a tough flue last month, I gotta say it caught a thin layer my scope totally missed. Really changed how I look at the simple stuff now.

Picked FSA over Shimano for my gravel build and kinda regretting it

Nah, I gotta disagree with you @the_charlie, these Gossamers just creak.

Blew a turbo at 2am on I-80 in Nebraska

Pulled the same thing on a trip through Wyoming a few years back only it was a Cummins that let go on me. Had a spare tucked behind the passenger seat cause my buddy swore by it and man did that save my bacon. Changed it at a rest area near Lusk using a headlamp and a prayer, oil was everywhere and I smelled like diesel for three days. Feels like every long haul driver eventually has that moment where you're glad you overprepared. Nebraska at 2am is brutal though, that wind cuts right through you when you're wrenching on the side of the road.
