Hey
fellas,
It's Friday, February 20, 2026, and I hope the day is treating you right.
Today I've got a simple way to drill
through tile without cracks, a fast one-leg balance check, and a tough little spaceflight that proved we could hang
in orbit.

Legendary Tip of the Day: Drill Tile Without the Heartbreak
Put masking tape right where the hole goes. It helps the bit grip and not skate.
Match the bit to the tile. Carbide is fine for ceramic, but diamond is the
safer bet when you are not sure. Start slow with light pressure. If its
porcelain or glass, keep a little water on the bit so it stays cool.
Timeless Tale: On This Day - Friendship 7 Makes America an Orbital Nation (1962)
On this day in 1962, John Glenn rode Friendship 7 into orbit and proved the U.S. could run a full mission around
Earth. Mid-flight, controllers saw a signal that hinted his heat shield might
not be secure. Glenn stayed steady and kept flying the plan. The splashdown
and recovery details are the kind of calm problem-solving you want in your back pocket.

Health Hack for Legends: The 10-Second One-Leg Check (1 minute)
Stand next to a counter so you can grab it if you need to. Keep your eyes open.
First, hold three simple positions for 10 seconds each: feet together, then
one foot a little in front, then heel-to-toe. If those feel steady, lift one
foot and try for 10 seconds. Switch sides. A light fingertip touch is fine.
Hobby Spotlight: A French Cleat Wall for Your Tools
A French cleat is just two boards with matching 45-degree bevels that lock together. It holds heavy stuff better
than pegboard. Build a few horizontal cleats, then make simple holders you can
move around anytime. Dont skip material choice: for heavier tools, 3/4-inch
plywood is the strong, steady option.

Why did the drill bring a towel to the job?
Highlight the black bar to see the answer.
Because it heard the tile work might get a little wet.
Stay sharp
