inShowerthought: I swapped my 22 mile daily drive for a bus pass in Boise and tracked every trip for 2 months
My version of tracking every trip would be a notebook with three entries and a lot of blank pages, so props for actually sticking with it. The part about noticing bike lanes you never saw from a car got me, since you miss a ton of your own city at 40 mph. Week 6 is about where my half-baked plans usually fall apart, so what kept you going?

inA customer in Mesa told me my cable management looked like spaghetti in a dryer, so I changed one habit
Watched a buddy of mine fight the same thing on a build last week, and what saved him was plugging in the front panel headers before he even set the board in the case. Sounds obvious but with the board flat on the bench you can actually see the pins and get the little labels lined up without your fingers cramping up. He said it added maybe two minutes total and saved him a solid twenty minutes of cussing.

inFinally got 4 clear nights in a row from my backyard in Tucson and stacked my best Andromeda yet
Man, four clear nights in a row in Tucson is basically a gift from the astronomy gods. I fought that same battle for years and the one thing that saved my sanity was getting my polar alignment dialed in tight every single session, even when I thought it was already close enough. The other trick is to grab your flats and darks right after each night instead of waiting, because the sensor temp matches better and your stack comes out way cleaner. That desert sky down there is no joke though, you can pull detail out of the dust lanes that most of us just dream about.
