Had to pick between two tomato plants for my small space

I only had room for one more plant in my raised bed, so it came down to a 'Sun Gold' cherry or a 'Cherokee Purple' heirloom. I went with the 'Sun Gold' because my neighbor said they produce a ton of fruit all summer. It's been about six weeks and I'm already getting a handful of sweet orange tomatoes every other day. Anyone have a favorite tomato for small gardens?

I used to just go to events and hand out cards, but a mentor told me to focus on one person.

About six months ago, I was at a big startup mixer in Denver, trying to talk to everyone. My mentor, Sarah, saw me and said, 'Pick one person tonight and actually learn their story.' So I did. I spent the whole hour with the founder of a local app. We just had a real talk. Now, that one connection has led to three solid referrals and a potential partner. Has anyone else tried slowing down like that at a big event?

I gave away a free service at an Edmonton networking event and it backfired

At a mixer downtown last month, I had the idea to offer a free 30-minute business website review to the first five people who signed up. I figured it was a great way to show my skills and maybe get some paying clients. Instead of getting thank-yous, three of the people came back with huge lists of extra changes they wanted for free, acting like I'd promised a full rebuild. One person even emailed me twice a week for a month asking for more 'quick fixes'. I learned that being too generous can actually set the wrong expectations and make people think your work has no value. Now I'm stuck between wanting to be helpful and needing to protect my time. Has anyone else in the Edmonton network found a better way to give a taste of your service without opening the door to being taken advantage of?

Finally gave up on my old cordless drill for setting posts and switched to a proper impact driver. The difference in a full day's work is just crazy.

My apprentice in Toledo asked why we still use the old three-pass method on smaller jobs, and I couldn't give him a good answer.

Why does nobody talk about the old school drafting pencil?

I was cleaning out my grandpa's shop in Toledo and found a 0.3mm mechanical pencil he used for blueprints, and I always thought my digital tablet was better. After trying it on some detail work for a gear assembly, the feel and line weight control was way better than I expected. Has anyone else gone back to a simple tool and been surprised?
