Croomes, Thanks for the encouragement! Water retention or dehydration can cause fluxuation. Even moving the scale to a different spot of the floor can do the same. Time for a new scale? Nah! I'm too cheap! I don't usually post on this thread since weight gain or loss hasn't been a big problem. But my situation is being shared by others at this time of year, so hopefully my post will be some encouragement to them. Enjoy the...

It work! 12/24/09 - Hains Point, Wash. DC. I was desperate to stop the growing sounds of atrophying muscle ringing in my ears. Did a lonely 22-mile skate. Actually I did have my three imaginary friends who lets just give them fictional names like Jeffery, John and Garvin. Peaceful, calm wind, 38 deg. very surreal & serene. An occasional lone runner and cyclist passed by. On my way home I picked up three lumps of coal. Ha, I would try...

Speaking of ghosts... CM, your post is very timely! I'm going to be moving at the end of next month (which really bites, but that's another story ) and unless I find another gated community, I won't have my private training track (complex perimeter road) to skate on anymore. The thought of having to slosh through all the overwatering they do around here where I skate makes me sick just thinking about it. I can't even...

Glad you are back at it. Awesome to hear. Good luck and watch those sharp turns...

BOO!!!! More bearing info... I have both the rubber seal and the teflon seal. I like the rubber seal better. The teflons are supposed to be less friction but the seal is flexible and the rubber is not as much which makes it easier for me to service. I have been skating all week in rain and today was no exception. It has been a week of solid rain skates and no bearing maintenance until today. Some were locked up and some could barely turn....
