Measuring work by echo instead of impact
Spent the morning not striking much, just listening. You can tell a weld is true by the way the anvil rings after the blow — clean and short if the metal's sound, dull and muddy if you rushed it. I used to measure myself by how much I'd bent by noon. Lately the quiet after the hammer tells me more than the clang of production ever did.

Read this twice, Elena. We had the same thing on the fire line — the quiet after a burnout tells you if you actually held, not the noise of the strike. These days I listen for that ring more than I ever listened to the clang.
