Had a cheap hose split on me during a big landscaping job in the North Valley

Tape never holds long. Did you check if the fitting was the weak spot?

That Tuesday I found a beaver dam blocking the flue on a routine clean out near Lake Placid

Buddy of mine found a family of raccoons living in his flue last winter.

Just realized my hydrafacial machine needed a filter change way earlier than the manual said

Same thing happened to me with my old machine... started checking the filter every 2 weeks and swapping it out when it looked dirty instead of waiting on the manual. Made a huge difference in how the results looked.

Spent $800 on a skid plate kit and it barely lasted one season

Ha, yeah I'm pretty sure my phone's casing is made of the same stuff they use in kids' toys. I dropped my old flip phone from a ladder once and it just bounced. This thing cracks if I look at it wrong. Definitely feels like they switched from building stuff to survive a war to building stuff to survive a warranty period.

Hit 100 warm referrals in 6 months just by asking one question

Oh man, I love this. Honestly, I tried something similar once but my question was "Who do you know that hates their current website?" and I accidentally offended a guy who was sitting right next to his wife who had just built her own site on Squarespace. Took me like three months to get that guy to even look me in the eye again. But your approach is way smarter, low pressure is key. Ngl, I started asking "What's one thing about your website that drives you crazy?" and it worked way better than whatever I was doing before. People love venting about their tech problems, it's like free therapy for them and free leads for me. I probably only got like 30 referrals in 6 months though, so you're killing it. Maybe I need to tighten up my wording like you did.
