Overheard a guy at my local shop say variant covers are a trap

Did you at least make a killing on those before the prices tanked?

I looked into the energy savings on repurposed windows and was shocked at what I found

You gotta pair those old windows with a storm window like you said. I did the same thing in my basement workshop a few years back and saw my bill jump real quick. Ended up building a simple wooden frame with a sheet of plexiglass on the outside and it made a huge difference. Without that extra layer, you're basically just letting the cold walk right in. For a greenhouse or a decorative piece they're fine, but for a heated space they need backup or they'll cost you more than they're worth.

Hot take: Catan is actually a bad game for most groups

Dice rolls are brutal in that game... we had a guy flip the board once after rolling three 12's in a row against him. Now we just stick to games with less random luck.

Hit 500 deliveries on Saturday and it kind of threw me

500 deliveries and here I am still forgetting which gate code goes to which apartment complex half the time. At this rate my car's gonna hit 500 oil changes before I hit a real career milestone.

Rant: That cute vintage dresser I tried to upcycle fell apart on me

Read something once about how old furniture glues can break down after a few decades, especially in humid climates like Portland. That drawer bottom probably had old hide glue that just lost its grip over time. Hard lesson to learn when you put all that sanding work in first.
