How do you make a chicken last that long? I'd probably eat the whole thing in one sad, lonely sitting.

That's the best part about saving seeds, you get to pass that same surprise along. I gave some of my dragon carrot seeds to a neighbor last spring and seeing her kids' faces when they pulled up purple carrots was just as good as growing them myself. It turns a single happy shock into a whole chain of them.

Looks like my first attempt at home repair lmao.

People caring is not the same as people being helpful. Some replies are just noise that drown out real talk. Calling all that "feedback" is giving it way too much credit.

Sounds like your buddy found the one thing in Vermont softer than the anvil. I've heard of that trick but always figured it was for minor issues, not a real warp. You'd need some serious heat to move that much metal back into shape. Maybe it was just a small dip on the face and the towel steamed it out. Still, I wouldn't trust it for real precision work afterwards.
