Ever seen a horse go lame from being trimmed too close? @wendyj24 is right about leaving that bit of sole, and I always leave about a thumb's width for safety. You can actually feel when the sole gets hard enough to stop, which takes the guesswork out.

Yeah those tiny gigs can be such a pain lol. Last time I did a cafe board logo job the guy wanted it to look "corporate but fun" and changed his mind like five times. Ended up paying me in coffee shop gift cards, which was kind of funny actually. Still not sure it was worth all the back and forth for a free latte.

On older diesels, glow plugs seize all the time, so what's the big deal?

I mean, @hugom40, calling it a 'detour' makes it sound like a real issue, but idk if it is. You all picked the space show because it was more fun right then, and a deck of cards isn't going anywhere. I've had whole nights where we meant to play something but just ended up watching stuff instead, and it was fine. Maybe it's just me, but I don't get why switching from games to tv is such a big deal.

Totally get what @charlie_chen51 is saying about that calm focus carrying over. It's like your brain learns to handle the small frustrations in a hobby, so the bigger work stuff feels more manageable. I've found the same patience from my own practice helps me plan my delivery routes better too.
