You ever notice how these collectors always have a story about saving something from destruction? I heard almost the same thing from a guy in Santa Fe who swore he was protecting Navajo rugs from being used as horse blankets. Funny how the rescue story always ends with the piece sitting in some rich guy's living room. My uncle bought "rescued" pots in the 90s and all it did was keep the diggers digging for the next buyer. If the market dries up, the bulldozer story dries up with it.

even after verifying you gotta recheck after the machine sits overnight or warms up, thermal drift will bite you every time... i touch off every tool at the start of a shift no matter what the notes say.

Honestly that screen time report hits different when you see it in cold hard numbers, and 4 hours in one sitting is wild but also so easy to do without noticing. Tbh the John Deere videos part got me because it's always some random rabbit hole you had zero plans to go down when you opened the app. That kind of moment really does make you stop and go okay, maybe those people weren't exaggerating after all.
