inTIL my budget sleeping bag left me shivering, so I finally invested in a better one
Woke up at 3 AM with my teeth chattering in a 20 degree bag once. That deep, warm sleep now is everything.

inTIL my library started hosting coffee tastings
Yeah my local branch does this once a month, they team up with a neighborhood roaster. I tried a bunch of their lighter roasts last time and ended up taking home a bag of their honey-processed one, it was super fruity which I never liked before. Totally changed my mind on what coffee could be.

inAm I the only one who finally gave in on using a backing gas for thin tube welds?
Funny how cutting corners bites you later, right? @william_bell35 nailed it about redoing work, reminds me of when I tried to skip purge on some stainless fittings. That extra five minutes would've saved me half a day of grinding.

inAppreciation post: Letting go of fixed camp spots made my hikes better
Whoa, I was such a planner with campsites too, always rushing to hit that exact dot. Last month I finally gave up and just stopped when I found a flat spot near a stream. It was so much nicer than the crowded official site a mile ahead. I didn't realize how much that old way was stressing me out until I tried yours. Now my only goal is finding a decent place to sleep.

Used to tune it out, but now that screech would ruin my whole day.
