Man, I used to roll my eyes at people who said the famous spots were overrated, figured they just wanted to feel special about knowing a hidden gem. Then I stood in that same line and got the same dry slice, and now I get it. Guess reputation and good meat don't always ride together.

Took me three years and a lung full of MDF dust to finally drill that 4 inch hole. The $18 port plus a cheap Wye fitting changed everything. My shop vac actually pulls now instead of just making noise. Air quality meter went from "hazardous" to "boring" real quick. Still kick myself for waiting that long.

My buddy Mike had the same thing happen with his Bridgeport last winter.
