Serious question, has anyone else had a client in a Phoenix condo insist on a specific pattern match that took an extra day?

The HOA there had a rule about the hallway carpet looking seamless, so I had to cut and seam around six doorways to keep the pattern flowing perfectly.

Serious question, did anyone else have to change their whole approach after that big OBD-II mandate?

I was at a shop in Dayton back in '96, and a guy brought in a '95 Chevy with a check engine light we couldn't even read without the new scanner. We spent half a day just trying to figure out where to plug the thing in. Now I won't even look at a car made after '96 without my scan tool right next to me. How did you guys handle that switch when it first happened?

I thought I could stretch a single chicken for a week, it took me 3 days to figure out the math was wrong

I finally got my mom to try air fryer chicken wings and her reaction was... something.

She took one bite, put it down, and said 'It's not crispy like the deep fryer at the diner' in my own kitchen last Sunday. Anyone have a foolproof method for extra-crispy skin that might win her over?
