That week my sourdough starter turned into a monster

I keep my starter, 'Frank', in the pantry, but last week it got so active it pushed the lid off a 2-quart jar and dripped down the shelf. I had to feed it twice a day just to keep up. Has anyone else had a starter go wild like that in warmer weather?

Showerthought: I used to think a big office in Chicago was key for my team

Last month we went fully remote and our project completion rate jumped 22% in the first 30 days. Anyone else see better results after ditching the physical space?

I was sure a gravel base under my studio floor was a waste of money. My contractor in Boise insisted, and after the first winter, I have to admit he was right.

Vent: Damp floor in my backyard studio had me stumped for weeks

I kept finding water near the walls after it rained. The dirt around the base was flat, so rain just sat there. I dug a shallow ditch and put gravel in it to guide water away. Who knew a simple slope could make such a big difference?

PSA: Spotting more mechanics with hand cramps from gripping tools too tight

I keep hearing about sore hands in the shop after long shifts. It hit me when my own fingers started aching from building wheels all week. We get so into the work that we forget to loosen our grip now and then. A quick stretch every hour makes a big difference. Just wanted to share since it's a simple fix we can all try.
