PSA: A delivery to a nursing home in Springfield made me see my work in a new way.

That story about the lady holding the bouquet for two hours is really powerful. It makes me wonder about the logistics, honestly. Did the activity director ask you to come back or set up a regular thing? I've seen some florists do a weekly "leftover bunch" drop-off for hospice or care homes, but it can get complicated fast if they start expecting it.

That dive in Mobile Bay last week changed my whole view on comms gear.

A full minute with no topside at 80 feet? That's a hard no from me. Sitting in the mud down there waiting for a signal to come back would mess with my head. Good call switching to hard-wired right away, I don't blame you one bit. Wireless has its place but not for something that critical. Makes you wonder what other gear we all trust that could just quit like that.

Just realized buying primals might be smarter than whole animal breakdowns

Grab a boning knife and a chef's knife. That's all you really need to start breaking down primals. Keep it simple.

Showerthought: I read that a lot of old barns used square nails because they grip better over time

Yeah @cooper.spencer, it's the bent ones that get me every time. I spent an hour last week on a single nail that just kept twisting. Ended up using a pry bar and a whole lot of bad words.

I was installing a new kitchen sink in my Phoenix apartment and the old plumbing just SNAPPED clean off

My old PVC pipes cracked twice last summer, I feel your pain.
