inMy 3-year-old cheap sleeping bag finally died on a trip to the Adirondacks last week.
Wow, three years for a cheap bag? That's a win.

inAm I the only one who gets totally thrown off by bricklaying in the rain?
Reading @tara_stone42's take on wet mortar, it hit home. Came across an old builder's tip in a forum that said once the mix drinks too much water, it's basically game over. They joked about trying to salvage it being like herding cats. Honestly, that idea of watching the sky like a paranoid gardener is spot on, makes you wonder why we even try sometimes. Still, heard some crews use quick-set mixes in damp conditions, but never seen it work magic in a real storm.

inMy 3 PM cup of coffee has me staring at the ceiling until 2 AM
Used to believe coffee never messed with my sleep no matter when I drank it... figured since I felt tired I could just crash. Learning about that long half-life stuff was a real eye opener though, totally changed how I time my last cup. Now if I drink anything after 2 PM I'm basically up until 2 AM staring at the ceiling... had to accept my body just processes it slower than I thought.
