Spent a whole shift in Mobile trying to get a flange to seat, turns out the gasket was upside down
I was on a shutdown at the plant down there, fighting with this 10-inch steam line for two hours. My new helper, Dave, finally asked if the rubber ring was supposed to have the bead facing the valve body. I flipped it over and it dropped right in. Anyone else have a moment where the fix was embarrassingly simple?

The worst part is you'll probably do something like that again next week.

Next week? You think I'm planning a repeat already? That's some serious mind reading you got going on. My schedule isn't even that organized. How do you know what I'll be doing in seven days?

Lol the "mind reading" part got me. I just started putting stuff in my phone calendar, even dumb things, and it actually helps.
