Hit 100 spoke replacements this morning before 9am

I counted as I laced the 100th spoke into a rusted old cruiser wheel and realized I've done more spoke work this year than the last five combined, anyone else notice how certain repairs just pile up out of nowhere?

man i feel that so hard. its wild how one kind of job just shows up and suddenly you're doing a hundred of them before breakfast. maybe its just me but when i started wrenching i swore i'd never do another spoke job after the first few, but they always find their way back to you. that tingling feeling in your fingers after you've been lacing for hours is something else. congrats on hitting a hundred though, seriously, that takes some serious patience and focus.

Yeah man @dylan_patel nailed it. I started using a spoke torque wrench to even out the tension as I go and it saved me a ton of time re-doing loose spokes later.
