A Buck to the Face - Applejack's "Day" Off (Patreon)

Hands off that keyboard, Sweetie Bloom!
I get it. Sometimes I spend too much time with my writing and editing. Sometimes I lose track of time. But I don't see how that's justification for blowing my door off. I'm busy enough as it is. The last thing I need is to add home repair to my to-do list.
So far this season there have been a few episodes I wasn't initially fond of. A few of them got saved for me by other reviewers. But with this one, it seems we're back in the typical swing of my enjoying something that most others didn't seem to enjoy. They call it repetitive; I think it was demonstrating the lesson's duality. They say the part where Applejack was examining the spa's plumbing took too long; I thought that was an effective way of showing how much time Applejack was wasting. I've heard criticisms on how it wasn't wise of Twilight to follow Applejack's list to the letter; all I can say to that is that when I ask for or am offered help on an important task - the seemingly inane steps of it are all necessary and important and it'll only set the whole process back if they're not followed to the letter. These things happen. Twilight at the time had no way of knowing otherwise until Applejack demonstrated it for her.
I enjoyed it. I related to it. Heather on the other hand...not so much.
