My first time trying to fix my bike chain when I was 8
I was in my garage in Toledo, my dad was at work, and I just started pulling the chain with my hands. I got grease everywhere and the chain popped off the sprocket completely. I had to walk it to the shop down the street, feeling like a total mess. That little fail made me way more patient with stuff that seems simple now. Anyone else have a core memory of a small project going sideways as a kid?

Ah, the classic grease baptism.

Grease everywhere is a rite of passage, like knight.felix said. A cheap rag on the workbench saves so much trouble later. That patience you learned is the real tool you walked away with.

Honestly that cheap rag tip is the real deal. Tbh I learned that one the hard way after my first few projects. Grease gets into everything if you let it. That patience feels like a superpower once you finally get it. Ngl it's the difference between loving the work and just being frustrated.
