Scars
January 15th, 2008 | by jg3 |Lots in here, but I can’t really stop long enough to get a window open to write it down in.
For some reason my head tells me that a laptop mac will help solve this. But I know it to be a lie: I need to prove the corp. vmware image runs in the osx version of vmware and migrate to the new server first.
I want an easy widget to include a “song of the day” via. hopefully a stream.
Anyway, I was repairing the scars on my snowboard and thinking about it and here are a few of those:
- This deck has been with me since 2004. And it has seen more than its share of whoa.
- The p-tex candle trick does fill in the gashes, but it requires a pretty healthy sanding the repair is made.
- Trying to sand it too early is a mistake and will compromise the repair job.
- The repair requires a lot of heat.
- If you rush it, you will have to do it over, eventually.
- After some sanding, the injury will be smoothed over, but the mark will always be visible. It may not be felt, but it will always be seen.
- It will never be “what was”
- Avoiding the rocks is a good way to avoid having to do this.
- Getting a new deck is a arduous, expensive process and I don’t want to deal with that — I like this (
cheap, scratched,imperfect but loved) deck.
It somehow seemed to relate to everything else in my head at the time.
