Sharpen the knives daily, wet the wood down, and choke feed it slow.

The beep giveth and the beep taketh away, I guess. I spent a whole weekend rebuilding a dash harness once because my tester kept telling me everything was fine, then I went to yank a wire and it just came apart in my hand. So yeah, I feel this in my soul, or at least in my bruised ego.

Tried shooting my burger at the window seat in my local joint for golden hour light once and it came out looking like a menu ad. But my fries looked like they'd been through a war zone and the bun had a weird soggy spot that always shows up no matter what angle I try. So I get the suspicion lol. Maybe Sam used a filter or wiped the grease off with a napkin first which honestly feels like cheating but I respect the hustle.
