Turned out the top hinge was the culprit all along, not the one I kept oiling.

Used to tell myself I'd cook after work but never had the energy. Batching three dishes on Sunday afternoon means there's always something ready in the fridge on a Tuesday night.

Pulled everything off the shelves to sort by category instead of by 'where it last fit.' Found a torque wrench I bought two years ago still in its box.

Was skeptical it would be accurate compared to the ring I used before, but the trend lines matched closely enough that I stopped caring about the absolute numbers.

Went with a two-coat primer plan on old cedar boards. Figured a day between coats would be plenty in this heat, turns out humidity mattered more than temperature.

Small addendum: the habit held through a weekend trip too, since I just moved the grinding step to right after checking in somewhere new.

Update: after a week of use, the tray's height adjustment knob has started slipping under load. Still no wobble, but I'm keeping an eye on that knob.

Been reading through a bunch of longevity research lately (Blue Zones studies, some of the newer work on VO2 max as a mortality predictor) and the pattern that keeps showing up isn't exotic supplements — it's consistent sleep, daily movement, strong social ties, and eating mostly whole foods. Curious what habits people here have actually stuck with long-term versus what they tried and dropped.
