On my last road trip, I figured out a cheap way to get decent coffee anywhere

Carry a small spice jar of cinnamon or cocoa powder in your glove box, it totally changes a basic cup. I even keep those single serve powdered creamers from diners, the French vanilla kind. Pour your instant in first, then the hot water, and stir in a pinch of whatever. Turns a survival coffee into something you actually want to drink. Makes those long drives way more bearable when you have a good cup.

DAE spend a month just to get a basic blueprint signed off?

Ugh, wells.christopher is totally right about that. Rushing just kicks the problem down the road. Seen it so many times where skipping a step to "save time" means a total redo later, which eats up way more days. That annoying wait for a stamp absolutely sucks, but it's way better than the alternative mess.

I finally noticed my smoke source was harming the hillside

Take @gavin_kim's point that one person seems harmless. But multiply that by all the folks who might have the same idea, and suddenly the woods feel it. Good on the OP for seeing the bigger picture and switching sources.

Filming a restaurant promo had me battling kitchen steam

Honestly the steam from the machine thing is such a pain. My buddy who films cooking videos swears by this antifog spray for lenses, says it saved him when shooting soup dumplings. Tbh I should probably get some too.

Warning: I'm seeing less hands-on training for new mechanics in my area

Saw a rookie crack a housing with a torque wrench last month.
