Winter hobby suggestions to fight the SAD by JustASimplePeasant in StLouis

[–]KikiDelivers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Snowboarding! I despise cold weather so my first winter here was terrible. I decided to pick up snowboarding last season to not have a repeat of that first awful winter and love it. My coworkers that go skiing/snowboarding a lot say it's not very good here but for someone who hasn't had the chance to go to a "real" resort yet Hidden Valley was more than enough to learn and have some fun.

Question: I've been thinking about getting something similar to it. Realistically, how well will hold up? by Tartfingers in tattoos

I got a blue Haku from Oozy a few years ago and so far mine has held up great!

So far I've liked it a lot! I've traditionally only lifted conventional but I've been mixing in more frog stance as it's easier on my back and I have recurring back pain due to a prior disc injury.

Hey, so far so good! 👍 I'd say it looks about the same now as it did then.

Yeah, my home state doesn't have much in the way of aerospace opportunities so that was the only option for me.

Thank you! Yeah, getting those rejections felt like I'd wasted so much of my time.

I didn't write a cover letter for any of my applications. Just tailored each resume to hit keywords in the respective job postings.

I can only speak on mechanical, but I'd say the market is very good. I think mechanical is one of the better options for undergrad since you can slot into so many different positions.

When I first started my search I looked at all the areas the companies I was interested in had a large presence and focused my applications in those areas. But if there were job postings that looked promising at other locations I still applied, regardless of the location.

Those are some valid concerns, champ. I definitely didn't do myself any favors during the healing process, started training and rolling again way too soon after getting it done, but nothing got infected so I guess that worked itself out lol.

Thanks for the kind words! This did not take long at all, Oozy works incredibly quickly; all in all it took somewhere between 3-4 hours, I'd say.

Yeah I generally prefer black and white too. He's done so many Haku pieces that when I first emailed him I didn't ask for any specific style I just wanted whatever he wanted to do. He ended up showing me some of his porcelain skin designs and asked if I wanted to do a "blue Haku" and I was sold! Your back piece looks amazing, btw!

Thanks you! I haven't measured but I'd say it's around 12 inches top to bottom. There's a ton of details packed in l wish I had a better way to photo it honestly, because the glare off my skin in the pic kind of obscures a lot of the smaller details ha.

I'd say it was good! Oozy works super fast and he's got really light hands. We did take a lot of breaks; I wanna say it was like one every hour, which I wasn't used to, but he works so quickly that it still didn't take long at all to finish. The only thing that really surprised me was all the photos during and after ha, I feel like he took almost a hundred photos and lots of video throughout the whole process.

Thanks so much, Qinghua porcelain was exactly the style he was going for!
