Rockering for big ole feets

Having always had big feet and apparently small frames on my skates, I never understood why people felt like they needed extra turn radius by rockering.

I just upgraded my size 13 K2 Midtowns from base frames (247mm, 80mm wheels) to the K2 R100 (311mm, 100mm max wheel size, currently added 90mm wheels). Holy shit what a wild, wild difference. It feels like I can no longer carve without really putting effort into lifting toes/heels, and even then....just wow.

Anyway, for you rockered people that still want stability (and now that my wheels actually go past my toe and heel for the first time in 25 years) - do any of you do a rockered first wheel and flat next 3? Gimme your recs on stable feeling rocker setups. I definitely feel a lot safer moving to rockered after feeling just how VASTLY different it is to have the right size frame.

Current position: 90mm wheels (100mm max size for frames) rockered all up to be lower to ground.

i'm always wrong

I have the wrong show or movie picked out, I've cooked the wrong meal, I've not allowed for proper VR time for our son, the volume is wrong, I've slept at a bad hour, I haven't taken the dog out after dark (bc no one else will), i'm playing a game when fam needs something, etc. I'm just over it. How is life worth living if I'm brought to my knees on any little thing that requires me to stand up for myself for something I want to do. I feel like an npc in my family's life and worthless regardless of eveerything I'm doing. I can't vent anywhere, and no one sees my public posts, so I know this will go nowhere, I just need to vent. I hate myself and no one in my fam loves me either.

Wife surprised me for bday

EDIT: I should've moved the presents to the front as that's really what i wanted to show off - look at last pic first. I know some of the creators are around here and just wanted to REALLy give a shout out to them for the awesome merch.

Original: I’ve been slowly collecting dark tower tats (see pics) and preparing for getting bird / hair / bear / fish on lower knuckles. Anyway, wife knows me and hooked me up - thanks to the people that made these (last pic) 👏🏻🙌🏻

Making Beef Stew out of Lemons

Decided I'd help teach my wife how to make beef stew after finding a new recipe that looked great for the broth (included some dijon mustard, worcestershire, brown sugar, soy, rosemary and thyme)

Got everything prepped and said "hey, lets add a few chili flakes for the tiniest bit of heat". Added a few small shakes and stirred. Came back 2 hours later, tasted, and said "let's add a tiny bit more". And then my chili pepper flake lid came off. 1/3 of the container (average spice shaker size) dumped into the stew. I immediately sieved out what I could but the dmg was done. I tried some of the "condensed" broth, then tried more from the crockpot and knew I was *fucked*.

So I cheese-cloth strained all veggies and meats out, started the broth over (knowing I'm missing out on all the things that have already cooked into the broth) and am know 1 hour into the new cook.

OH - to top it all off, my ninja slow cooker died when I tried to re-start the recipe. Thankfully, my old crockpot is still fine so I transferred it (ONLY AFTER spilling a solid 2-3 cups on our counter/floor/everywhere) .

I really hope this stew kicks ass when it's finally done. I hope some of you can either commiserate or laugh and/or tell me itll be ok.

My last year of PBNs

This sub got me into pbn’s, so first off thanks to the regulars that post and help people out :D Feel free to ask any questions - I had a lot of fun with most of these and learned a lot along the way. Some felt like a bit of a chore by the end, but I’ve already got my next one on the way!

Posting them first - latest

All were found on online at that one super small store that does 2-day shipping

My favorite ones to paint were the skeleton astronaut and the flower child

Biggest money saver tip I have is to go buy a pack of blank canvases and pack of thumbtacks. You can easily wrap your own pbn over that canvas without having to buy/assemble a frame or paint on a loose canvas. Happy painting!

EDIT: Just realized I posted the unfinished van/ufo painting, but I assure you it was completed 😛
