Honestly, have you guys ever had a customer who just loves their old system? I had a guy in Trotwood last year who begged me to keep his 4120, said it never gave him a false alarm in 25 years. I told him straight up parts are impossible to find and the transformer alone is a fire hazard, but he just didn't care. Some people value reliability over features, you know? Ngl, I respect that even if I'd never keep one myself.

Real stakes every time, the ones they give you just bend if the ground is even a little hard. Worth the extra few bucks to not have your tent turning into a kite at 3am.

Gently disagree with the damp sponge thing though, that thermal shock can microcrack the plating over time. I used sponges for years and always had tiny black pits show up, switched to brass wool and my tips stopped looking like that. Damp sponge works fine in a pinch but brass wool is easier on the tip long term.

Milorganite actually works because of the heat drying process. Unlike a lot of bagged fertilizers that get chemically treated, that heat treatment kills weed seeds and pathogens while keeping the microbes alive. So you're basically feeding the soil biology AND the grass at the same time. Most people don't realize commercial compost isn't always heated long enough to do that properly.

...and then you realized you were basically doing arts and crafts instead of actually planning your life. Ngl I feel personally attacked because I literally did the exact same thing for like six months straight. Honestly the bullet journal community makes you feel like a failure if you're not making these watercolor masterpieces every month. But once I admitted I was just staging my life for the internet, I cut my planning time down to like 15 minutes a week and it felt way more useful. Tbh Dave might be a real one for calling you out like that, even if it stung at first.
