inMy odometer hit 240,000 last Tuesday and I can't decide if it's time to let the truck go
Tracking your cost per mile might be the most useful thing here. At $2,200 over 179,000 miles you're at basically a penny a mile in repairs, which is unheard of. Even if you drop $1,500 tomorrow you're still way under what a new truck payment would run you over the same stretch. The dash number only matters when the repairs start coming in bunches, not when it's one bill after years of nothing.

inVent: my black and white poster kept coming out with a green tint until I caught the paper setting
Two nights on a grayscale poster though? That seems like a lot of effort for one print job. Honestly the green tint might have looked kind of cool, like an artsy choice nobody asked for. Paper settings are one of those things nobody reads, so I get why it got you, but the real lesson here is that test sheets exist for a reason. A single cheap page up front would have saved you both nights. Recycled paper running hotter makes some sense, but I still wouldn't call a slightly off gray an emergency.

inShot the moon at 200mm with my old Canon and the focus peaking trick finally made it sharp
Ha! Meanwhile I'm over here just hoping my moon shot doesn't look like a streetlight.
