I was cleaning my lens in the garage last week and saw the moon like it was in my backyard

Ever have a friend describe something so clearly you feel like you were there? My buddy was fixing a tripod in his dark driveway, complaining about a loose screw, when he looked up and the Milky Way was just sitting there, clear as anything. He said it was like the sky just opened up, no camera needed. Good tip from @lucasw84 about the dust, my friend learned that the hard way too.

Any feedback on TRT (The Roof Technician)?

I hired them for a tricky repair around my skylights. They were fantastic. Kept me in the loop with photos of what was going on up there so I understood what I was paying for.

Had a flange warp on a 24-inch steam line during a shutdown in Toledo.

Actually, rushing the heat IS the main issue in my experience. You get uneven expansion that locks in stress before the bolts even come tight. That port-a-power method is a solid fix, but man, you gotta control that temp climb next time.

My cousin's kid got a weird text and it freaked me out

Tell the kid it's a scam and watch their face fall because they think you just ruined their chance at free V-Bucks. Had to explain to my nephew that no, Microsoft will not text you from a Gmail address to give you a free Xbox. The disappointment was almost funnier than the scam.

Unpopular opinion: I used to think viral dance challenges were just fun, but my cousin's school play video showed me the algorithm's hand

Yeah the "waiting for it to notice you" part is so real lol. It's like shouting into a void and hoping the algorithm hears you.
