Whenever I come back from the woods and observe Discourse I feel like I didn't bring back enough pictures of the woods for the screen people.

It's really easy to mentally write off lots of time if you're not careful. At one point yesterday I went from "it's October" to "the year's almost over" to "my end-of-January birthday is basically around the corner" within a split second.

By the same logic that's half a year!

Troubleshooting is an art. And the most important brush is knowing the options you have to throw against a wall to see if they stick. After that, is the impressive part. But pareto expertise is the first.
