inCan we talk about guys who skip the $80 climbing inspection on their saddles?
That $80 is cheap compared to a fall. Six years is a long time to trust your own eyes on something you look at every day, because you stop really seeing it after a while. A fresh set of eyes catches what habit hides.

Camera first, every time, you can't fix what you can't see.

same beans I always buy and the cup tasted totally different" is doing a lot of work there, since the grind size and the ratio usually matter more than the pour itself, so your gooseneck might be getting credit for the burr grinder effect.

inA pensioner brought in a Nikon FM with sand in the film advance and taught me something at my bench in Tucson
Forty minutes of note taking with a toothbrush and a blower, that's wild. Most folks hand me a gritty camera and want it back yesterday, no questions. The spiral pad part gets me, he's out there building his own service manual one spring at a time. Guy's been dragging that FM through Canyonlands since 1979 and still wants to get his hands dirty, that's the kind of regular you keep coffee around for.
