I was feeling fine with the CB socks, even to the point I cut the sock for the leg opening ( I'm going to refer to it as quasi-steeking).
The skirmish that began at 10 pm and didn't end until I admitted defeat at 12:30 am is the fucking heel. AGAIN.
I did not shred the sock.

As I was washing my face and brushing my teeth for bed (swearing a blue streak) I realized it's not the pattern that's the problem, but the way my foot is shaped. Very wide and very long.
So I'm going to ignore the CB method for the heel. Where I should begin decreasing, I'll use EZ's after-thought heel method.
For now, and this is not for the weak of stomach or heart, let's look at the carnage:

And Tank? During all this drama? Pretty nonplussed about it all:
