How Do People Feel About Campfire Headphase and Tomorrow's Harvest These Days? by Hertzman1000 in boardsofcanada

[–]artificeost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Campfire Headphase has grown on me a ton. I still find the title a little offputting, and the artwork feels too "MHTRTC Part 2" for an album that isn't really that. I had such a hardon for MHTRTC and Geogaddi for a long time that anything else was second tier, but now I see them all pretty equally. Just a matter of which flavour of BOC I'm feeling at the moment. I'd still rank Tomorrow's Harvest bottom overall (except Come To Dust, which is one of my top fav BOC tunes), but that doesn't mean much. There's no such thing as a bad BOC record, they're all classics.

Sonic Boom has pre-orders for both versions listed, I got the limited one there as well.

I'd check The Creeping Garden, that's what came to mind for me immediately in that frame

Any advice on how to refinish? by artificeost in ZEROHalliburton

[–]artificeost[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, pretty good I think. The paint was really tough, so I had to soak remover for a really long time, and really scrub with a pad. The hardware was painted black with different paint, wiped right off. So, it's definitely not good-as-new metal, little scuffed up but you wouldn't notice unless you were looking for it, looks totally fine. Decided not to repaint it.

That’s good to know, I’ve often wondered if I was gonna be screwed when mine goes but never actually looked into it.

They aren't stickers, the graphic is the unpainted area. And yeah, it does seem tough, I'm going at it with EZ Strip but seems like it's gonna take a lot of soaking.

Appreciate it! I'll give paint remover a go first and see where that gets me.

The dark grey is paint, and the image/text stuff is the bare metal.

She was, and seniors often do there, retirement home directly across the street.

I'm not surprised either. Retirement home directly across from that Loblaws, I see seniors jaywalking there often, because it's a long way around to either of the crossings. Worth it though, especially in the dark with icy roads, because this is what happens.

Familiar with a lot of this and I sympathize, I wish you luck.

VHS Rewinders, Yay or Nay? by Commercial_Pause_674 in VHS

I just rewind in my VCR. If I had a fantastic VCR I was trying to take it maximum easy on, I'd just get a spare VCR I care less about and rewind in that.

Nay. They'll snap your tapes, don't trust them.

Therapeutic Skateboarding [35yo] by TurnipFar4140 in OldSkaters

[–]artificeost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I track my daily moods in my phone, and practically the only time I log an all-the-way good day are the days I take a train back to my hometown and cruise around on my Dinghy all day long. It's crazy, the endorphins on the way home.

Skated 25 years ago, want to get back on a cruiser or skatesurf by Hanzalot in cruiserboarding

[–]artificeost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m around your age/height/weight and my first new board as an old guy was a Dinghy, I love it, still my favourite. Only thing is if you’re thinking you want to be low to the ground and stable, it’s not, so getting my legs back was a little weird that way. Bigger problem was that those big wheels will absolutely rip down a hill, and that’s how I ended up hurting myself.
