    Getting rid of tensioner on STP

    I've got long 16.75" stays. I run a 36-18 gear with a half link. Fits perfectly. Ditch the tensioner. A little tight at first but it has worn in well.

    So I bought some EZ-Crete...

    I think this a good lesson in building anything. And that lesson is to plan plan plan. Just winging it and slapping sh*t together usually ends up costing you more in time, effort, and dollars. And frustration. Been there, done that. I certainly appreciate wanting new stuff to play on and...

    You're Doing a Great Job, But You're Fired.

    You just described 90% of the workforce out there today. Sorry to be negative but, I am one of those absolutely hating my job right now. The only reason I am holding on to this job is that it is the most money I've ever made. Given the economic situation, I'm basically a holding on to it...

    Drummers/musicians - Electronic Drums?

    Thank you all for the information. She has a friend willing to sell an old kit for $200. We may just go with that and some of those pads. Convincing Mom will be the hard part. :)

    Drummers/musicians - Electronic Drums?

    My daughter wants a drum set for her birthday. Mom is dead set against a real kit because of the noise. So electronic is the compromise. I have no clue and told the kid to show me some examples. $799 and $895 were her 2 samples. Way outside of proposed maximum budget of $300. Do not want to buy...

    Battling Burnout

    That’s the thing….it’s difficult to get peeps together. Especially when you announce that it is a work party. The crew is small and everyone is scattered with their various responsibilities. You never know who, if anyone, will show up. We tried to put together a road trip and...

    Battling Burnout

    Help motivate me fellas……….I’ve really been struggling lately with the thought of giving up on DJing. I’m just burned out and when I think about things, I come up with one positive and whole list of negatives and reasons why I should give it up. The one positive: nothing like the high you...

    New Salt Lake City law - no ramps in our backyards!?!

    Enforced on a complaint driven basis. So just make friends with your neighbors and shut it down by 10 or 11 PM. No problems.

    Tell me about the Peace Corps...

    You want to give back to those less fortunate? There are plenty in your own backyard. Big Brothers Big Sisters. Volunteer at a homeless shelter, a battered womens shelter, the VA hospital. Hell even the ASPCA needs volunteers. There's plenty of opportunity to help people out and plenty that need...

    Profesional Monkeys -> coverletter help

    The purpose of the cover letter is to show how your skills match up with their required qualifications. Stick to that and keep it short. The interview is where you discuss things in detail and where you could talk about your experience managing the team. The interviewer may be clueless about...

    Anyone here from Austin TX

    For some DJ action: 9th street, Redbox, The pump track. A little interwebs investigation will yield the locations. A trip to Barton Springs would be rather refreshing after a hard ride. CMC should be able to enlighten you a bit more as he lives out there.

    i just touched a piece of history

    Speaking of Lord Stanley’s Cup……. I’m standing in line at the Calgary airport and I’m thinking to myself that this dude with the big blue case looks vaguely familiar. We get to the point where you drop off your bags. This dude flat refuses to put this big ‘ol...

    BMX and MTB

    I can only speak to my experience. IMO, most of the 26" crowd I encounter is older and have some amount of bmx in their background. Most of the younger crowd are on the 20's and that's all they've ever ridden. Youthful ignorance versus wisdom and experience. I see the word STYLE mentioned...

    Domestically Produced skate shoes?

    Back on topic....DC is where its at in my opinion. I'm on my 3rd pair and they have all been good quality and lasted. My oldest pair is 7 years old. The soles are worn thru but not one stitch has frayed. Excellent quality. ADIO on the other hand is just the suck. My kid is a skater and all 3...

    Anybody ever move their family?

    Was an apartment dweller in Chicago’s far north ‘burbs. Wanted badly to buy a house and was shocked at the high prices of real estate. Not to mention taxes. We saved every penny we could for 2 years, fired my a-hole boss, packed up and moved to Houston. Wanted to move to Austin but...
