inWhy does nobody talk about the new wind speed rules for mobile cranes?
That app has saved me more times than I'd like to admit. I remember one job where the forecast said 15 mph winds but it felt like 25 on the ground near a big building. The tarp started lifting and I had to abandon the setup halfway through. Now I'm the guy checking three different apps before I even load the truck. Your mileage may vary, but I'd rather look paranoid than lose another tarp.

inFound a note in my kitchen from 2019 about my freelance rates
Funny enough @black.oliver, that whole thing about learning vs grinding reminds me of my cousin who took a graphic design gig for $12 an hour at a print shop. He thought he'd be making cool posters and branding stuff but instead spent 6 months fixing typos on pizza menus and resizing logos for the same 3 clients. He said the only thing he learned was how to center text faster. So yeah, location and what you're actually doing matters way more than the number sometimes.

inVisited the old botanical garden in St. Louis the other day and the greenhouse felt different
Flinched reading that. Wait, they actually pulled those? I always figured those plaques were like, permanently bolted down or something. That just sounds lazy on their part, not a real improvement for anyone.

inI finally learned why older agents told me to skip Zillow leads
Keep that call time under 5 minutes no matter what, treat every lead like they're already talking to three other agents. Set a timer if you have to, it makes a huge difference in who actually picks up.
