inMy old boss in Bakersfield said to skip the parts cannon and actually test the circuit first, and I owe him one
Man, my parts cannon has its own zip code, but backprobing still wins every time.

inMy lease says I can't have pets, so my landlord just calls my turtle a 'decorative water feature'
My last place had a clause about "water beds" that was written back in 1987. The landlord told me my 10 gallon fish tank was fine because it wasn't a bed, even though it leaked once and soaked the carpet. I pointed out the tank held more water than a water bed, and he just shrugged and said the lease only banned the beds. His exact words were "the carpet guy won't know the difference." So now I always read the fine print twice before signing anything.

inWasted $280 on a load chart app that didn't match my old Grove's chart
Remembered buying a used brake job DVD off a guy on Craigslist years back, swore it covered every Ford truck from 92 to 2010. Got it home and the torque specs were for the wrong axle, so I had a buddy with the same truck double check my work while I torqued everything. Ended up fine, but it taught me that cheap info on old machines is a gamble every time. Your Grove thing is the same deal, the app guys build for what most people run and older rigs get dropped. Have you tried calling Grove direct with the serial number? A lot of times the factory will email you a PDF of the original chart for free if you ask nice. That paper book is a pain but at least it was right when it left the factory.
