inPaid $12 for a banned cold medicine in Tijuana and it actually worked
Twenty minutes is solid. I once spent 12 bucks on a "miracle" cold pill in Mexico and got nothing but a stomach ache and a lesson about reading labels in Spanish. My luck with cheap fixes is so bad that the pharmacist probably saw me coming and charged me extra for the headache. Glad yours actually worked, because my track record says I would've been the one guy who paid 12 bucks to feel worse.

inA lead at the Van Nuys hangar called my torque paperwork lazy, and he was right
That line about "nobody can prove what you set it to" sounds good in a hangar talk, but I've seen it cut both ways. Ten extra minutes a plane adds up fast, and on a busy day that's the difference between making your slot and pushing a whole line back. The napkin thing is sloppy, sure, but the real fix is a torque log the whole crew fills out together, not one guy playing notary on every fastener. Half the old timers I know got their values second-hand and those planes flew for decades.

inLost 2 hours in the Arizona desert trying to film a light that turned out to be a drone
Sounds like a rough night but honestly a drone in the sky at 11pm is pretty normal these days. Most of those blinking lights people chase turn out to be planes, drones, or satellites anyway. Maybe check a flight tracker before driving 40 minutes out into the desert next time.
