inPSA: I hit 200 Google reviews for my shop on 6th and it's not what I expected
Don't you think that 18% jump might just be from something else going on around 6th at the same time, like a new spot opening nearby or a street fair? Two months of data is pretty thin to pin it all on some reviews that half the people didn't even mean to leave.

inSpent $85 on a 'one click' cloud security scanner and it flagged our own health check page as a critical threat
Been there with a tool that cried wolf on every single scan, total waste of money and time.

inWhy does nobody talk about how wet sand can wreck a big slab pour
Had a buddy run into this exact thing on a shop slab last spring, ground looked dry on top but had been soaked a week before and the meter said 22%. He ended up with a soft crust and hairline cracks all over one corner, had to grind it and patch it which cost him a weekend and some cash. A quick check with a meter takes two minutes and can save you a whole lot of grief.

inMy grandfather's Leica II sat in a shoebox for 40 years, and last night the shutter fired clean for the first time
Wait, you cleaned the blinds with lighter fluid and then used GRAPHITE? That is the part I want to dig into. Graphite is a dry lube, and on a Barnack the shutter spindle really wants something that stays put without gumming up the works when it gets cold. Did you flush the whole thing with naphtha afterward or just let it ride? And how did you test the slow speeds, because 1/20 and 1/30 on a II are the ones that lie to you, not 1/500. Four evenings of work for $120 is a steal either way, but I am curious if that shutter is actually right or just sounds right.
