thought I would try starting a thread for this! basically, what’s something recent (or recent-ish) that you experienced that you consider a “win”? could be something big, or something small! we’ll take all the wins we can get, here.
for me, the primary ones that are localized to my life would be that my dog made it through surgery okay last month and that I am trying to learn linux server stuff again and actually feel like I’m getting it a bit more. I love learning things, but I honestly feel like I’m terrible at this skill set in particular.
also, making this post! I have been around before but I’m relatively skittish in social spaces just because of previous experiences. haven’t had any bad ones here, just memories making it hard to shake and actually participate.


Still trying to decide whether changing the spark plugs on my wife’s Outback is a win or if I should have just paid a shop to do it. Cylinder 4 took various combinations of 3" extension, a swivel joint, and two different 14mm sockets depending on how far in the plug was threaded. And that was just the nonsense I had to deal with after managing to get to the plug.
I completely get why the shop quoted something like $700 for plugs.
My hands and back hurt.
