Hi Galen, glad to hear that everything went well and that you are keeping the tools in optimal condition. About my tools I think that over time I have learned not to do what my body asks me to do on any occasion, that is, I have more self control over my reactions, I think body centered meditation has helped me quite a lot. I also believe that I am becoming a better reader of people, I have been sharpening this tool over time.
Best regards
