It was actually a rather good day. Got lots done (always helps), and the Landscape team came over to fix the base for the new shed, so the garden is starting to take shape.
Things are afoot with the band as well, I've sent out the bat signal for the crew, for the upcoming shows, and i'm trying to get a nice project going, which could see Mike collaborate with someone very eager indeed. It's all a bit hush-hush, but it's looking....interesting.
In other news, the scab on my hip is finally fading away, and the ligaments in my hand seem to be getting better. However, it's a very, very slow process.
I'm also thinking about skating again. When I've not done it for so long, it's an itch that really needs scratching. plus, I get to play with some toys. I've got a nice OG Skaterbuilt 12" pig, which would make a wonderful carving machine. Needs some swiss in the BDS dubcons, and the risers need swapping out. Might have to sort the bushings, too.
Told you it was about playing with toys, didn't I?

Apologies....
It's been way too long, i've been lazy, I know.
In my defence, it's all been kicking off at Westway towers since the start of this new year; there's loads of things up in the air, lots of possibilities floating around in the ether, i'm just waiting for a little crystallisation.
Sorry to be so vague, but you'll know more soon, I hope.
One of the things that HAS been occupying my time is Middle Age Shred; it's a web-site and forum for old skaters like me: it's great to know there's a like-minded group of people whose legs ache like mine, who crave wider boards and old-school moves....
I've also got myself sorted out with a USB turntable, so i'll do my best to post up some of the tracks i've ripped from vinyl :)
What was the first thing I ripped? "Jack And Jill" by Victims Of Pleasure. It's an old piece of 80's synth-pop featuring Virginia astley on piano......
So, what's happening today? Well, i've re-jigged one of my old set-ups: I've changed the trucks on my Doug Smith "Bomb" from aggro Trackers to indy 159's. I'd like 169's, but there a nightmare to get for a board with old-school mounting patterns...
Whatever, the board'll now ride like a dream, so i'm going to introduce it to the seafront a little later on.......
