inBurned 3 billets before I figured out my forge was running too cold
Man, Walt sticking his hand near the door is such a blacksmith move. I read somewhere that you can judge it by color in low light, like a dull orange is around 1500 and bright yellow is pushing 2000, but the shade in your shop throws that off. Borrowing a buddy's pyrometer for one weekend would save you way more than 3 billets, just saying.

inPSA: my sister said 'you finish whole shows in two sittings' and now I cant stop noticing it
Two sittings? I did the entire first season of Breaking Bad in one night back in 2013. Started at 8pm thinking I'd watch two episodes, blinked, and it was 6am and I was making coffee for work. My girlfriend at the time woke up and asked if I'd slept at all and I just stared at her like she was speaking another language. The worst part is I did the exact same thing with season two the next weekend. It's like my brain just refuses to stop at a cliffhanger, which is every single episode of every single show now.

inRant: I just logged my 100th annual inspection squawk and I can't believe what it taught me
The "37 of those were the exact same loose jam nut" line is wild but honestly I believe it. Same deal at my shop, you could set a watch by the stuff that keeps coming back. Trim tab hardware, throttle cable friction lock nuts, those tiny screws on the mag p-lead, all of it just vibes itself loose over 100 hours no matter how good the last guy was. What got me was your 4 out of 100 being real problems, that tracks too. Most annuals are 90 percent punch list and 10 percent pucker factor. The scary part is the stuff that never makes the notebook, like the guy who "checked" his own oil and never pulled the cowl all year.
