With everything that has happened lately, I needed a break. Hearing that Buffett was playing a beach show in Key West, I decided to jump on a plane and headed down for a couple days. I had no hotel room booked and wasn't registered for the four day festival that he was crashing. In the end, I met a ton of new people, slept on a couch one night and had a fantastic time. To top it off, JB did what the more hardcore fans had been asking him to do for years; he didn't play all the the hits, he told stories behind the songs and played his breakthrough album (White Sportcoat and a Pink Crustacean) in its entirety.

Drove about 40 miles to test my friend's Blackstone setup and he only had a 90/1 wheel on hand (I'm used to 90/75). Seeing as I'm relatively new to a FBV, my friend told me that "a 90/1 is a true 5/8ths", so I decided to give a go anyway. Test drove it during the Sharks game (don't ask), and it felt like my runners were glued to the ice. I'm pretty sure he's wrong about it being a 5/8ths as it reminded me of a 9/16ths or even a 1/2" ROH. Made for an interesting night.

Hello, let us talk about the reasons for a pattern similar to fishskin with scales. It is very hard for me to reduce the pattern on the bottom of the blade after grinding the skates of my three boys. I use a X0-2 and there is no big difference between the orange and ruby grinding wheels.It is better when i use fineshine-oil but i was never able to produce a mirror-finish. In my opinion the pattern is caused by vibrations due to imbalances of the grinding wheel, the wheel-holder and/or the driving-belt. What do you think? And what can i do against this phenomenon ?
