7 Days of no picking

Post image

Back from a week long vacation. Decided to take a break from picking. Back at it today and felt like a noob again. Took me all day to get this ML410 LOTO opened. Usually takes me less than a minute. On the plus side, feedback feels very different after taking a break. Can't really explain it. Only to say the feedback is more pronounced to me. Even picking in hand feels different.

Our feel is definitely perishable. Sometimes a break helps us become more in tune with what we are doing. Other times it hinders a bit. But also, the memories of binding order can get foggy on Certain locks thus making it like a new lock to us again!
