Ever think about getting a weather radio?

Maybe @taylor.phoenix is just getting old.

Oh man, you gotta check the ethnic markets too! The one by me has ginger for like a quarter of the supermarket price, it's WILD.

Ever notice how the smallest, dumbest shortcuts always end up causing the biggest mess? Like skipping the quick check on your bike chain and then it falls off miles from home. That ten second poke with the hanger is the exact kind of tiny habit that stops a huge headache later.

Are you seriously saying a ten minute delay in zero viz isn't a huge deal? That's ten minutes where anything could go wrong, from missing a critical defect to a full on safety incident. The client's paying for reliable work, not for you to feel your way around in the dark because of junk gear. That rep being upset is totally valid, it shows they care about the job getting done right and on time.
