Can we talk about the old diver in Morgan City who made me re-tie my own knot blind, with my tank off?

Our block's little free pantry hit 500 items this month and I didn't think it would last past spring

My walk in died at 4:45 on a Friday and I served 60 covers out of coolers

Dropped $40 on a bootleg VHS of 90s cereal ads at a Portland flea market and it was the best money I ever spent

Am I the only one who started using the left lane math trick on I-35 and cut 20 min off my Austin commute?

TIL a single cabinet shop in my town burned through 40 sheets of plywood in a month, and it made me rethink how I price my own builds

A radio ad guy in Phoenix told me his 30 second spot gets 8 words of recall, and I can't quit thinking about it

I doubted habit tracking apps for years, then my own sticky notes proved me wrong

Did my sticky notes unionize or something?

Rant: customer said brushing from the ground with a 30 foot pole is lazy, but I'm not so sure

Wait, 32 years in and he just stopped climbing steep pitches in 2019? That blows my mind. My uncle did this work for over 20 years and he was up on roofs until the day he retired, bad hip and all. So are you telling me a guy with three decades of experience is out there pole brushing and nobody bats an eye? That customer in Des Moines has no clue what he's talking about. Knees give out, it happens, and a pole still gets the job done on a basic ranch.

Took my truck on a beach run at Assateague and found out I'd been airing down to the wrong number for 3 years

14 psi here, been running that for years now

Thought city composting pickup was a scam, then I weighed my bin for 90 days

Did your food scraps really weigh that much every week? My buddy in Portland did the same thing for like two months and his bin came in around 9 or 10 pounds most weeks, mostly coffee grounds and banana peels from his smoothie habit. He said his trash went down to one small bag too, and he stopped buying those big boxes of bags. The scale thing sounds nerdy but it honestly made him keep with it.

I finally listened about the zucchini crowding thing

Wait, Rick was actually right the whole time? I used to cram mine in too and got the same sad results, mildew and all. Gave them room last year and it was night and day, so yeah, I get why you owe him those pickles.
