Well, it was a gallant try but I didn’t make it. I had two goals: Spin every day Spin up one pound of green variegated top I spent most of one evening getting the wheel set up and ready to spin. Had several problems getting the tension right. I managed to spin up a full […]
You know what I hate most about migraines? No one can tell you’re having one. Well there’s the lack of concentration, the misuse of words (Hyperion’s going to proof this for me), the fact that I can’t seem to keep one thought in my head for more than half-a-minute before it falls out the ear […]
