pure awesome...

 

[David Mary]

Ha thanks. I need practice.

Took another a little stroll down muscle memory lane. Still nothing amazing, since I have not been playing very much. But hey it's fun so I'll share:

 

[David Mary]

Back when I was working in the restaurant over 20 years ago, a co-worker came in one day and told me that a band had stolen one of my riffs! Turns out that the opening riff to Sum 41's "Fat Lip" was identical to the opening riff I came up with for one of my own projects just months before they released their song.

Bro, you've gotta stop shredding strings and get back to shredding belts.

Ackchually, keep shredding as you see fit. I'm here for it.

Monofletch I figured instead of starting new thread for this, I would just say this here. I read your forum sig:

"Sometimes there just aren’t enough rocks!"

I definitely agree!

However, this statement hits home for me even more:

"Sometimes there just aren’t enough socks!"



As a knife maker standing for hours on end, I wear holes in 'em pretty quick.

In my younger years I used to mountain bike in NY and New England. Rest assured, there were plenty of rocks!

Some kamis in Nepal wear neither shoes nor socks while forging and grinding their knives. At least from pictures i have seen.

I did that a few times.

I did that a few times.

And walked about (aboot?) in the snow sans shoes.

 

[David Mary]

Of course I did, but not on the same day! Do you think I'm crazy?

All foot damage in moderation.

 

[David Mary]

Not damage. Conditioning.

You know you feet are fully "conditioned" when you cannot tell them apart from a camel's rhino's* foot or an elephant's feet. Calluses an inch thick and fully flat on the bottom.

*Rhino foot was more apropos.

I am a mailman. I walk all day long! I go through socks. Someone turned me on to Darn Tough Socks. Lifetime Guarantee! When they get a hole or wear thin you get a new pair! The best wool socks I have ever used!

I have only heard good things about them.

Oh, that quote is from Forrest Gump

Wait. As in you buy them and they give you socks for life now? Mail in the worn out and they just send you new???

 

[Monofletch]

When they get thin or get a hole you submit an on line form then, yes they either send you a replacement pair or give you a code to get a free pair if the color or design you had is no longer available.
