Lol you got me there, I'm the worst about that. My old paper logs look like a toddler got into the coffee and then tried to write down engine serial numbers. I once dropped an entire sausage biscuit on a page, and now that grease spot is my official reminder to check the gear retraction system. Maybe my mess is exactly why digital is looking pretty good.

Dave's five-hour cleanup job had the customer sending thank you notes.

Ear protection for me. Always thought it was overkill until I had that ringing in my ears for a full day after using a saw.

That's a really useful stretch for sure, but the stapler itself isn't getting heavier. It's the hand and forearm getting fatigued from the repetitive gripping motion. After a few hundred staples, those same small muscles are just tired, so the object feels heavier to lift. It's like how a coffee mug feels fine at first but can feel like a brick after holding it through a long call. The stretch helps because it counters all that clenching.

I read that SLOWING down speeds up learning, which TOTALLY fits your mom's patience with mistakes.
