Chadd

I'll take Murph over Mickey any day of the week.

Let's keep the suspension discussion in the suspension topic

Not bad, it's nice to hear a band that doesn't play everything in drop tunings for a change.

Lange is one of the worst of all time.

Still having problems with the ankle I sprained just before the summer jam, looks like I may actually have to go to a doctor.

Had one in Baltimore the other day

Interesting, very interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khJKq_kJK7Q

I had to grab a guitar, crank up the amp and kick out sister havana when I read it.

When dressing the wheel the first time or when changing hollows it will take a little longer than when just touching it up. How frequently you dress the wheel is up to you. I prefer to dress the wheel for every skate, more often if there are chips or nicks that I need to work through. If you are just doing your own skates and dressing for each skate, the wheel and spinner will still last a long time.

New Urge Overkill single is out and a new disc in the next year. Song is embedded in this story: http://www.spin.com/articles/exclusive-urge-overkills-first-song-15-years

Movement inside the skate = blisters

Two called third strikes on full counts early in the game that were questionable, at best.

It wasn't you, don't worry about it. Like I said, we all have complaints in here that aren't at the same level. You weren't the one making the comparison.

Then some of us really need to get a grip on reality. The fact that some people compare a broken blade or stick to the loss of a life, even if you don't know or like that person, is absolutely absurd and shows how completely self absorbed people can be. There are various levels of vents in this topic and obviously not all are expected to be at the level of serious injury, illness or even loss of life. To try and elevate a trivial frustration to the same level just leaves me at a loss for words. I guess I should know better by now though. Thanks, worst part is the guys ex is being a royal bitch and looks to be planning to screw her step-son (his first marriage) out of as much as possible. Then again, what would you expect from a woman that leaves an 18 year marriage when she finds out her husband has a terminal disease?

While I generally do not endorse political candidates, I think this is someone we can all get behind. http://tv.gawker.com/5667182/crazy-rent-is-too-damn-high-candidate-steals-the-show-at-ny-gov-debate?ref=nf

Got a text from my dad last night. He found one of his best friends dead on the floor of his living room when he went over to visit. Haven't had a chance to talk to him, and won't, until I get back into the US tomorrow night.

Haven't slept since I got up yesterday at 10AM and I'm sitting in the airport waiting to board a flight. It should lead to a "sweet spot" moment for me in about 7 hours, not that I'll be here to talk about it at that time.

Blocked a shot tonight (intentionally, for a change) and my ankle is killing me. Now I remember why I don't do it more often.

Had a great time at this show, glad to see some of the video is finally online. I remember going to see them in some of the worst dives in the area, funny to see them in an "opera house" this time.

Not a problem as long as everything is intact. Once those pieces start breaking through, you will have problems.

I'm going to do my best to get there for one.

Banged my toe at the summer jam when someone was banging on my hotel door in the middle of the night. Finally had to peel it the rest of the way off tonight and it doesn't feel pleasant.

True, but there are ways to do it without turning off the team.

Got the gig in the training department.
