Shoutout to hitting 3,000 oil changes on my old Weaver lift

Wait, oil changes don't wear out the cables... the lifts themselves do, right?

Just realized the last page of House of Leaves isn't the real ending, it's the copyright page

That reminds me of how I read a whole Chuck Palahniuk book once waiting for a big twist and it turned out the twist was that there wasn't one. Felt like the book was messing with me on purpose, which honestly made me like it more. Some authors just want you to sit in the weird feeling instead of getting a clean bow on top.

Update: a foreman in Kansas City made us soak our trowels overnight and I've never gone back

I figured the whole soak your trowels thing was just old timer superstition too, right up until I tried it. Dry trowels pulling moisture out of the mortar actually makes sense once you see the difference in the joints.
