Hit 50 perfect spines in a row last night

I have been practicing rounding and backing for months now. Last week I decided to count how many books I could do without messing up the spine shape. After 50 in a row I stopped counting because I was too tired to keep going. It felt good to finally see that practice paying off in a real number. Anyone else set random little goals like this to keep themselves honest?

Fifty is impressive. I stop at three and call it a win.

See I gotta push back on that @black.margaret... stopping at three feels like giving up before the good stuff happens. I've been fishing my whole life and I've found the real magic starts around that tenth or eleventh cast when you actually figure out where they're hiding. Three casts just gets your line wet, you haven't even given the fish time to notice your bait yet. Fifty might be on the high side for most people but there's a middle ground worth fighting for. Maybe try pushing it to ten or fifteen next time and see what changes for you.
