in20 years in and I just learned I was torquing lug nuts backwards
Ha, been there man. First thing I'd do is check your wrench calibration too, cuz if you been running it backwards for that long who knows what else got messed up. Little trick I learned is to mark the direction with a paint pen so you never gotta guess again.

inThat one perfect night in March ruined me for astro stuff
Wait, you saw the Veil with just an OIII filter?? I've never gotten anything but a faint smudge even on good nights. Twelve sessions since and nothing close is brutal, but man that March night sounds worth the letdown.

inI was climbing 3,000 ft days on the AT and wondering why my knees hurt until a guy at a shelter in Virginia called me out
Same thing happened to me on Blood Mountain, my quads were dying and some guy told me I was fighting gravity instead of working with it on the downhills. Letting your knee bend on each step spreads the load out over your muscles instead of jamming it all into the joint. Locked knees on descents will wreck you fast, so keep the steps short and let your legs act like shocks.
