Winter Build Off 2022 - Renewal/Rebirth

[Beej]

I followed them all and read every post. But I do have the master spreadsheet.

Plus I've read every post in this forum for close to a decade.

Never before has my experience been so precisely memed.

I watched that movie roughly 308,697 times when the kids were little.
It's burned in. Plus, everything that went on in that fish tank can be a parody for some part or all of my life.

I admitted I was overwhelmed this year - in general I've been spending less time on TB than in past years, time seems to be in short supply, it's not just the WBO, it's in general.

At least, not to your face.

I totally understand that feeling. You're not alone on that island...

I've had some time this last week to catch up. But, any "helpful" comments I could have made along the way were always a day or two (or three) late. And by then, redundant.
I barely kept up with my build...

I actually followed every WBO thread, though I didn't always remember which was which until a saw a picture or two.

Never saw that fish movie, though...

I got the distinct impression that every single person who entered, really challenged themselves in this build off.
Whether it was difficulty level, or something unfamiliar/new, etc.
It was a fun build off to watch and be part of.

Two class acts in one competition, this is overwhelming.

Seriously, though. A big thank you to @Sushi Box FX and @Beej. We appreciate you both.
