Welded a 4-inch pipe joint in 20 minutes flat today

I been working on this old boiler drum at the refinery near Gary. Last month I couldn't get a root pass that clean to save my life. Today I just locked in, steady hands, and it came out almost textbook. No grinding needed after. Anyone else get those days where it just clicks?

Nah, 20 minutes sounds rushed. Quality takes longer than that.

Well slow and steady wins the race but sometimes you just gotta run with it when the welder's hot.
