Started pressing my own books before sending them out. Saves a ton on grading fees and you get better at spotting flaws. Ever give that a shot?

Honestly, that nightly charging sounds like a pain to keep up.

Heard about my friend's dive in a muddy quarry once. The silt was so thick it was like swimming in soup. He said he had to feel his way along the bottom and listen for his buddy's sounds. That dive taught him to trust his instincts more than his eyes. Now he says normal clear dives feel like cheating. Your post totally makes sense to me.
