Yes, it has really been slow....I guess everyone is busy staying out of the heat. I can't wait for the Fall and cooler temps.

I still want to go down to UpRev for a tune.

Morning guys.

Table tennis still taking over my life lol, I love it. Went to a 4 day / 7hr a day camp/clinic recently so I can get some coaching, and man did I have so much fun. Other then my legs and arms and entire body being completely limp after the days over, very well worth it. Got completely demolished by this 9 year old yay high kid that was in camp as well, he was a frigging beast and started playing when he was like 6.

Thanks guys. I really enjoy it, a hobby/sport you can do until you literally die. Great exercise even though a lot of people don't think you have to work hard...until you see what the true sport is all about.
.
Friends/family still think I'm nuts, insane, crazy and obsess with it of some sort. Guess they don't just understand the sports level of it since in the America it's thought of as a joke/boring sport.

I'll post some videos in the feature for you guys to see how the trainings going .

-----------------------------

On another note. A friend of mine went swimming, he walked into the pool and swam for about 15 minutes. Until he forgot that he had his iPhone in his pocket..

Now it sits in a death bed (made of rice & gel packets) in a coma hoping it'll wake back up.

Yes an iPhone 4, it hurts.

Hey everybody,

It's been a good while since I've been active on the forums or even going to meets/events. I just left a job because I never had time for anything. Now I'm in the same predicament in my new job. It is nothing like what was in the job description.

I have a Bachelor's degree and have not applied it yet. If anyone knows of any job openings/leads please let me know. I need a change badly.

Eric,

Sorry to hear about the new job.....what a let down. Well, just keep a positive attitude.....That is your best asset you have. I will keep an Ear to the ground for anything that could fit your parameters.

Until then just make the best of your new job a learning experience & stepping stone platform to get you where you need to be.

Say hello to the wifey !

I might take the entire set off your hands...would the 255s fit on stock rear wheels? If so I'll see what I can do about getting some cash together.

That sucks about your friends phone, does he have apple care? If so I think he can exchange his phone and get another for 200 or 300 depending on the model it's alot better than paying for a new one.
