My smoke alarm went off last week from pizza drips.

Wait, so how do you even check what's filler and what's not? I mean, I just go by those online lists, but now I'm worried they're wrong.

My buddy did that with a rubber band once.

Honestly, the ritual just hides how much I need the caffeine.

Yeah, that safety thing is exactly it. I saw a steel cable snap once and it put a huge gash in a truck's quarter panel. The idea of that flying around near me or my horse just isn't worth it. I treat my synthetic line like any other piece of gear that needs a look over. A quick check for fuzzies when I clean my tack, keep it out of the dirt when I can. It's a bit more work, but you're right, it just drops if it goes. Lets me ride without that little worry in the back of my mind.
