inSaw a cool trick for cheap veggies at the farmer's market yesterday
That's such a great find! Do you find that the 'ugly' veggie box is always there, or is it more of a last-hour thing before the market closes? I'd love to swing by next weekend if it's a regular deal.

inMy phone's battery was dying by 2pm, so I had to pick between a new phone or a power bank
That "simple fix that saves money" thing is so true. I started using one for long bus rides to visit my sister. It meant I could watch videos the whole trip without hunting for an outlet at the station.

inSpent a whole afternoon chasing a creak on a vintage Trek 520
Oh man, that's the worst kind of hunt. Those hidden frame cracks are sneaky because they only open up when you put real force through the bike. I had a similar thing with an old steel frame where the noise came from the seat tube but the actual crack was near the bottom bracket shell. It makes you question your sanity after checking every bolt three times. What did you end up doing with the frame, is it something a good welder can fix?

Oh wow, I do the same thing and @the_derek is right, it just makes bad coffee way more drinkable.
