And here I thought the whole point of paying an accountant was for them to figure out the messy stuff. A $1,900 swing sounds annoying, but is it really worth rebuilding half the spreadsheet yourself? I just sort the PDF by date and let the tax software handle the rest. If the math is off by that much, I'd blame the accountant for not catching it sooner, not the broker's summary.

Reno's had three hard freezes in the last two weeks, so that timing lines up too well. Even with blankets, that product wasn't meant to take a frost that quick. I'd bet on the mix design before I'd blame the batch, sorry you're stuck with the call.

Zero regrets" sounds like my dice tray says the same thing, while my table still has the dents to prove it.

But isn't provenance part of what makes a book interesting, @wendyw71? A library stamp tells a story about where that book lived before, even if it doesn't add cash value for the resale market. Some collectors actually hunt for those marks because they prove the book was well used and loved by a real institution.

...I mean honestly, how often does that actually happen in real world conditions? I've been around these radars for almost fifteen years now and I've never once seen a board get fried from ESD. People get so hung up on static discharge but the real weak point on those WXR-2100s is the magnetron drifting out of tune after a hard landing. I think the whole ground strap thing is way overblown by the manuals. If you're careful and touch the chassis before you start, you'll be fine nine times out of ten.
