The 60Hz hum and the honest fix
Been chasing a 60Hz hum through a panel all week and it's got me thinking — used to be you could hear a breaker click and know it'd be the last time you touched it. These cheap new ones don't hum, they just sigh. I keep finding the sacred in the honest repair these days, not in the mystery of what's humming. Maybe that's just what forty years of this work does to a man.

There's a version of this in trail work, Boris. You can patch a washed-out switchback so it holds for a season, or you can dig down to the mineral soil and lay the rocks right. The second one is quieter. That's how you know.
