Shutting off notifications halfway through helped me actually see the trail.

Wearing boots 50 miles barely breaks them in. @oscarhart, that guy is why REI now watches returns like hawks.

Read something about this the other day about how cats like high places because it makes them feel safe from predators. Seems like your cat picked the perfect spot for a nap with that tower. Does it ever knock the boxes over when it jumps down

It's funny how the cheapest tools end up costing you the most in the long run... I've got a drawer full of those $20 fish tapes that broke the first time I really needed them. Spent good money on a proper Klein set and haven't looked back since, that's just how it goes with most things you actually use for work. There's a pattern there where people try to save a few bucks upfront and end up spending way more over time... it's not just tools either, happens with appliances and even cars.

Wow, wait, you just swapped the flour and got that much of a difference? I mean, I've been using AP flour forever too and my sandwich bread always comes out like a brick. I always figured bread flour was just for fancy stuff like artisan loaves or pizza. Maybe it's just me but I never thought it would change the texture that much, especially with the same recipe. Now I'm wondering if I've been missing out on actually decent sandwich bread this whole time.
