Also, I feel like i’m potentially late to the party with this music recco, but I’ve been all about The Skinner Brothers lately… super fun mix of brit pop, hip hop and DnB

They’ve also just released a 6 track collab EP with Ren that is straight fire. Big recco from me

Drove past this fella in the hood today… looks like he took his early christmas present for a run but it must have packed too much of a punch :joy:

I went from massive pedal boards to small ones to multi-FX like Helix etc and now pretty much play exclusively through Neural DSP modelers through studio monitors :sweat_smile:

It was just a freak accident,
It was not esk8 related but I am very concerned that this might be the end for me as far as esk8

I cannot walk / stand or even sit in a chair under my own weight

Might have to sell all my boards to pay for a potential surgery

I find out later today if I need surgery
Crossing my fingers that I don’t

But I’m pretty close to roadkill form at the moment

Hopes are high tho and I’m amped to try and learn how to walk again :black_bird::+1:

That’s crazy, hope you get some good news and start your recovery soon. When i blew out both of my shoulders i dropped into a deep hole just thinking about how hard my recovery would be and that id never be back to 100% again. Don’t suffer silently, your mental health is important and there’s help and friends and you don’t have to do it alone :heart::heart::heart:.

Oh fuck dude I know that all to well, I did that aswell, my shoulders have never been the same but it gets better.

I’m trying to actually figure out from my last surgery what material the screws are made of in my shoulder before I go into the MRI

I might turn into a chicken strip :rofl:
If nobody figures it out & they just test by doing

Luckily I had family that stuck with me through the night :heart:

So I’m very grateful/thankfull to have the support

Thank you for your support too :heart::heart::heart::sign_of_the_horns::sign_of_the_horns::sign_of_the_horns:

Best outcome possible, I don’t need surgery at this moment. I am going to be put to the test tmr in my attempt to stand / walk and potentially be cut loose from the hospital if they give me the green light

They said in six weeks I’ll be healed but I think that’s a fallacy

None the less it’s great news but I got a big fight ahead of me as far as getting back to a state of normalcy

Great news mate, good luck with the recovery

I’m wishing you the best. In 2005 I herniated 3 lumbar disks( with anular fissures AKA tears) I was told my career was over, I don’t have any other skills. 21 years later I’m still working in my field. I got clean of all pain killers ( I’m still in pain, but pills suck)
My point is that your body can heal, there’s hope, keep your head up. Best of luck

I just walked to a flight of stairs and went up and down!!!

I walked with one of those old people walkers and with a super badass back brace but still pretty awesome :sign_of_the_horns:

they are going to let the cat out of the bag and let me go later today I think I hope

I might make it to my 7:45 pm class tonight if I can sneak a ride to class from my sister

Straight into the dungeon when I got back home
Trying to fix a wireless guitar relay


Battery I ordered is too big
And also seems to not work when I plug it into my amp as it’s supposed to charge it.
Hmmmmm

I found out what the issue was
The cell I ordered I noticed had a label that said it was “protected”

That made me think there was a hidden bms under the shrink wrap

Sure enough there was



So I bypassed the BMS by snipping the exit leads off of it and soldering directly to the nickel
And the thing turned on :face_with_tongue:

Plugged into amp - Light is green

Can’t really ask my sister to go and find my multimeter to see if the voltage is going up on it but I really hope it is.



Also this form of relaxation is going to cease my mom is pissed at me as I’ve moved my amp which is well over 5 pounds - I’m not allowed to do that kind of shit for awhile as the doctor ordered.
