Yeah, that Bali thing hit home. The boring spots are always the real ones.

You ever have one of those moments where you just stare at the bucket and think, "I know better, but here we go again?" Because I've done the same thing with a bucket of hoof oil more times than I care to admit. That feeling of your arm sliding in, cold and sticky, and then you fish around blind for the tool. Two days later, you do it again, and you're just mad at yourself for not moving the bucket the first time. I feel your pain on this one, man. Sometimes a little distance is all it takes to save yourself from another gross arm bath.

Standing up to bad behavior is the only way it stops.

just hoping for the best" is a wild system. @jana509 that soot thing is brutal, I can't believe you're wiping it every few feet. The first time I tried one of those phone cameras I pulled it out covered in black sludge and thought I broke it. You probably have better visibility on a moonless night in a coal mine. I'd rather run a brush blind than deal with that mess every three minutes.

Tbh @the_ben saying "it's just a wrench" is exactly the kind of oversimplification that misses the whole point. That thing has like a dozen hidden functions if you actually look at the design.
