Under two minutes" sounds good, but I still just draw the lines. My brain works better when I do the steps manually, even if it's slower.

You said "isn't it just a scale," and I get that, but I see it the other way. It's the anchor for a whole ritual.

Honestly that Fresno heat sounds like it turns a concrete pour into a high-stakes video game level. One minute you're floating along, next minute the slab's setting up like it's got somewhere to be.

Holy crap, you just pushed on dust mortar?
