My backup brakes caught me sliding on black ice last winter.

Man that's exactly what I do and the broth alone is worth the extra work.

Drove past my neighbor's house the other day and saw him waving his arms at the recycling truck because they left his bin on the curb and he wanted them to take it back to his garage... must have been a whole thing because his wife was out there too, just standing there with her arms crossed. Kinda makes you wonder what kind of drama those drivers see every day, like a secret soap opera happening right there on the street.

That line about "a tool you dismissed" hits close to home. A buddy of mine who runs his own cabling side gig had a Klein toner sitting in his truck for like two years before he finally used it. He was working on this old office building where someone had punched down all the jacks but never labeled a single one. He spent a whole Saturday swapping ends with a cheap tester and getting nowhere. Finally grabbed that toner, and he said he had every port mapped out and labeled in under an hour. Now he swears by it and tells everyone to skip the tester for finding the right cable, just use the tone.

Try putting a ripe tomato in the bag with them instead. Works faster.
