One minute you're using a semi controlled heat gun to melt popsicles, and the next moment they're melting too fast and you've got a mess on your hands and floor, with only a few spares to recapture. Sweaty? Melty? Runny? There's only a few seconds between those states...
“People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those are doing it.” said the late playwright George Bernard Shaw. Putting in the time to accomplish end goals is often just a matter putting in the work on a gradual basis where we get better at the task at hand....
