inShoutout to the Tuesday when three camera repairs in a row came out perfect
Man that feeling when they all just work is unreal. Had a similar run last month with a Pentax K1000, a Minolta SRT101, and some random Ricoh that all needed light seal foam jobs. Did all three on a Saturday morning and every meter read dead on after. My usual rate is like 50/50 at best so I was walking around the shop like I just won the lottery. Tuesdays must be lucky for repairs I swear, every time I try this on a Monday something goes sideways.

inDropped $60 on a prompt journal that told me to write about my feelings
Did you check if the seller had any other listings with the actual sci-fi stuff? I used to figure these Etsy prompt books were all pretty much the same, just cheap lists slapped together with a nice cover. Then my sister got me one at a yard sale for two bucks and it was honestly better than stuff I've paid real money for, so now I dig through the used bin before I ever hit buy. The free stuff is everywhere if you look, Reddit has whole threads of horror and sci-fi starters people just give away, and old magazines at the library sale work too. Sixty bucks for "write about a time you felt sad" would've had me mailing that thing back.

Guy at the lumber yard told me to skip the pressure treated for my raised beds, and now I'm second guessing everything
My buddy built four PT beds back in 2019 and planted tomatoes, peppers, carrots, the whole deal right away. First season the tomatoes did fine, but his carrots came out stunted and kind of bitter, and he swore the soil smelled like pennies when he turned it. He ran a soil test after year two and copper was way higher than his other beds, so he ripped them all out and went cedar. Said the $200 he saved up front cost him way more in lost veggies and hassle. Not saying that happens to everyone, but it scared me off PT for anything I'm eating out of.
