Greetin's an' stuff from Kansas

I'm fairly new to lock picking. It's something I've been interested in for a while but the female authority figure in my house (some call them "wives") absolutely forbade me to pick up the hobby. So back in March when my marriage imploded (it's a good thing in this case....let's just leave it at that) and suddenly I was allowed to make decisions without consulting someone else and a distinct lack of a burdensome honey-do list that left me with tons of free time I bought myself a set of lockpicks from Southord and set about learning. I also joined a local hockey team and started seeing my friends on a regular basis again. Yeah, so much more free time now that I'm actually allowed to do things that I want to do.

Anyway, I've worked my way through the easier locks and I'm currently trying to master American 1100s. I've got 7 of them and can reliably pick 5 of them in 2 minutes or less. The other two are weird and stubborn and I just can't seem to get them for some reason.
