My dad's homemade suet cakes drew in woodpeckers like crazy. My store-bought blocks don't compare. Any recipes to share?

A remote cabin job forced me to learn solar-powered alarms

I got a call to install an alarm system at a cabin deep in the woods. The owner wanted it to be eco-friendly, so I had to use solar panels for power. It took extra time to set up the battery backup for cloudy days. Now the system runs smoothly without tapping into the grid. This whole thing made me think about how we can be more green in our work. Have you guys ever used solar or other earth-friendly options for your jobs?

Almost ruined a piece because I skipped the pre-heat step

I was in a rush and didn't let my glass warm up properly before working it. The stress cracks showed up later, so now I always take the time to pre-heat, no matter what.
