One week where every shutter release came back working - not a single return

I had a week last month where every single camera I touched came out perfect. A Pentax K1000 with a sticky mirror, a Nikon FM that had light leaks, and even a beat up Canon AE-1 that someone dropped. All three fired clean after I worked on them. That never happens. Usually I get at least one that needs a second pass. Any of you ever have a run like that where everything just clicked?

A run like that? Don't jinx it buddy.

Linda, I gotta say... "don't jinx it buddy"? That doesn't really work how you think it does. Jinxing is more about talking about something good that's still happening, like a no-hitter in the 7th inning. A run that already happened? That's in the books, can't be jinxed. It's just history at that point. Feels like people throw that phrase around without thinking about when it actually applies, you know?
