So you think two notebooks isn't serious, what makes you say that?

But doesn't listening let your mind wander off? Reading actually makes you focus.

In my 1970s Schwinn Varsity, the cup and cone bearings lasted decades with proper adjustment. Learning to set them by feel taught me how bearings wear and when to service them. Cartridge bearings often seal in problems until they fail without warning, leaving you stranded. That hands-on knowledge lets you fix issues on the road, something a sealed unit can't offer.

Clothesline seems like a good idea until it stretches or snaps under load. That pick probably failed for a similar reason of using the wrong gear for the job. Some people just really trust cheap rope too much.

Oh man, my friend Dave hated that style... until he saw it live. He said his hands were shaking after that shoulder shimmy into the floor spin, the one where they all drop in unison. He admitted it woke something up in him, like remembering why he loved shows in the first place. Said it wasn't just a dance, it was a whole feeling hitting you before the story even started. Changed his whole mind.
