Fun month! Thanks to those of you who are running the challenges. This adds a lot.

Ok, let's summarize the month:

• MMOC - wonderful. Born in the early 1930's, it's holding up better than I am ( and believe it or not, I was born after the GEM MMOC).
• Midnight Stag Trifecta - wonderful. Enjoyed it all month.
• Zenith boar brush - Awesome. What a surprise! Yeah, you boar aficionados knew this would happen.
• One GEM blade all month - worked out much better than I thought it would. Kudos to those who take it further and to u/djundjila and u/Eructate who achieved GEMtury status this month. I won't be joining your club.
• Microscope photos - not particularly dramatic. Today's is an area of the edge that is particularly bad, but much of the edge looks pretty good. This was fun for me, boring for you.

And ... we're out.
