      Not too bad this morning. Actually, I use some common sense and practice a little moderation. Had a great time and Monday morning wasn't too painful.

      Kind of. It's slightly anecdotal, but almost without exception easy examples of any given level are narrow, and hard examples of any given level are wide. Especially at the limits this is almost 100% true.  Production is consistent enough for brands like IronMind that in almost all cases the final rating is directly a function of the spread. For example, the lightest new #3 we have found (137) has a 69 mm spread. A 142 we have right now is 70 mm. An average one at 149 is 74 mm. A hard one at 156 is 75 mm. It almost always goes like that. There is variation of course. Right now we also have a 148 at both 71 mm and 74 mm.  This works well enough that I can reliably find certain ratings for any level within a couple pounds. The way I use this information is, for example, if I am going to rate 16 #3s then I will pick through the inventory and find a nice spectrum of spreads. Opening those grippers typically results in a nice distribution of ratings from low to high.
