I'm pretty happy that Jayne Snobb is ALIVE! Now I just need to get better gear. I'm skating on some Ridel R3's but I'm starting to save up for new skates, harder wheels and some bearings. I did clean my Bones Redz the other day, and that made them roll a tad better. I just can't shell out for $50 bearing right now. Here is what I did. First, I used a TON of Tri Flow. This cleaned all the dirt gunk out. It wasn't ideal, but it worked. After getting the oil and junk off the outside of the bearing I put speed cream in them. I put the red covers back on them, and put them back in the wheels. Voila!
I am basically hoping this will get me one more month with them. I bought these back in September. It is now November, but I skate on them 5 times a week, so maybe that is why they aren't working so well.
I mentioned wanting new wheels. I actually have some GREAT wheels. I'm using the reckless envy 62 mm. These don't have a lip, and I wish they did. I also want to use them with some hard wheels.
I do like them though. I'm taking suggestions for hard wheels to add to these on my skates. As for skates. I'm thinking Antiks, but I need to do a ton of research about them. Since they cost so much money, I'm going to take my time on them. I mostly want plates that have that screw to keep my toe stop from coming unscrewed. I'm so sick of those toe stops coming undone.
AIRSTREAM...
I mean you may have come here for that. Maybe I'm wrong. I am hoping to rip a hole in the floor this week. Sounds funny, huh? "Gee, I can't wait to rip a hole in my vintage travel trailer." Anyhow. I can't wait to start. I'm just busy and broke.
I am going to try to rip the beds out of the bedroom tonight or Friday?
SAM (the mustang)...
He needs a new clutch. I can smell it burning. NOT a good thing. Really. That smell is not a good thing.
OK, I will keep you posted.
