Did you try getting a refund from Park Tool?

Honestly @drew_thomas9, that's not quite the story though.

Have you noticed any difference between dry brining in the fridge uncovered versus covered with plastic wrap for that full 48 hours? I've always left mine uncovered so the air can dry out the surface, but a buddy of mine swears wrapping it halfway keeps the salt from getting too aggressive on the outside. Also, do you flip the steak halfway through or just leave it sitting on a rack the whole time?

Roaming data is like $10 for a week these days, is it really worth messing with WiFi calling just to save a few bucks? Sounds like the barista was just messing with you, not like the call was actually broken bad enough to ruin your day. I've had Skype go fuzzy in a cafe before and nobody handed me a passive aggressive note about it. Maybe the problem was the coffee shop's router being overloaded with tourists, not the technology itself being a disaster.

@davis.emma you're onto something there. A buddy of mine once got his truck stuck in a mudhole off a back road he wasn't supposed to be on. Had to walk two miles to get cell service and ended up finding this old abandoned fishing cabin by a lake nobody knew about. He goes back there every summer now to camp. Sometimes getting off track is the only way to find the good stuff.
