90A Pro First Pick
Got it at the beginning of the month, was super crunchy (like gravel), so I decided to progressive pin it down to 5 pins (mangling 2 springs in the process, Doh!). Got consistent opens the last couple weeks while visiting family. Was pinning back up to 7 pins today (with replacement AL1100 springs from Mr.Lock) when I made the noob mistake of not putting in key pins 6/7, Doh! Again! After a brief panic thinking I'd totally bricked it, I made a handful of shims out of a soda can and (after a brief fight to get them to work) finally was able to insert the key and turn the core. Finished pinning it up, double-checked that the key worked and finished reassembly. Picked it open in ~10/15 minutes. Honestly more proud of fixing my mistakes with the core than actually picking it (although that feels awesome as well).
