I want pins damn it! - just venting

1st timer here. Just needing to vent a little as I sit here chomping at the bit, waiting to see pins, wishing there was something I could do yet having the distinct impression that the only thing to do for the time being is wait a few more days.
Yet to pop my cherry with the desired fruits or our hobby's later. Currently on my second attempt. PF Tek cakes that kicked ass in the jars with myc growth now on their ninth day in the fruiting chamber and I'm aching to see pins. My cakes are very slightly blued but they seem to be stable. I don't think I was giving them enough light and getting accurate humidity readings has been a pain.
I would like to thank the folks from this board that have helped me out over the last few days. I've received friendly, quick, and helpful responses to my newbie questions and I appreciate it.
This board kicks ass.

Just be sure that you are giving your cake the proper environment for pins to form...IE: FAE, Light, Temp

>This board kicks ass. Amen!
>Just be sure that you are giving your cake the proper environment for pins to form...IE: FAE, Light, Temp i second this notion. If you do these things correctly, there are few instances where they wont pin with enough time. And im sure you know, but RH: 95% Temp: ~75 F Light Cycle: 12 on and 12 off and to repeat myself...

Same here -- I just fan and mist now. I try not to look at the cakes too much.
Mine dried a bit after my humidifier was sucking the air dry. I hope I got to save 'em in time. I'm at 98% humidity and my cakes aren't dry to the touch like rubber.
See what happens. (:
