Read somewhere that harnesses actually work better for dogs with deeper chests like goldens because they don't put pressure on their trachea. My neighbor's lab had a collapsed trachea thing from pulling on a collar, scary stuff. Got my golden a front clip harness after that and the difference was night and day, she stopped pulling almost right away. Just gotta make sure it fits right, had to adjust mine a few times before it stopped rubbing under her arms.

Buddy's shop wiring melted from a space heater running. That's 90C easy.

Honestly the spreadsheet thing is a great idea but I think you've got the dates a bit off. 2018 was only about 7 years ago, so 500 pieces in that time is more like 70 a year or roughly 6 a month. That's still a lot for a hobbyist but not as crazy as it sounds at first. I've been tracking my sketches since 2020 and I'm at like 180, so you've definitely been more consistent than me.

Once had a guy sing the alphabet backwards to me on the F train.

So are you saying you'd skip the celebration and just keep walking?
