Telling yourself "just two people showed up so it doesn't count" is the same energy as me skipping the gym because I forgot my good socks. But honestly the no-cancel rule is smart, 1,100 Tuesdays is basically a religion at this point. My sock project has been sitting in the corner judging me for three weeks now.

Canola at 130F doing that on 1084 would mess with my head too, since that lines up with what tons of guys swear is a fast oil only. Get a second thermometer and check it before you doubt your whole setup.

Did that Cherokee come back to you or did another shop catch it? I ask because I had a similar scare on a 172, not a turnbuckle but a fuel line B-nut I know I snugged. It seeped just enough to leave a stain on the cowl liner and I spent a week second guessing myself. Now I mark everything I touch with a paint pen, even stuff that seems obvious. The five seconds it takes beats lying awake at night wondering.
