          I'm pretty sure Tabata means "eff you gaijin" in Japanese…

          I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

            Yeah, Doug made a good call on the DDP/Skogg combo.  Those really compliment one another well.  Thanks for that, Doug.

            (And thanks for the Tiger Balm suggestion, too- my wife just laughed when I said I was going out to buy some, since her mother apparently used it for everything; aches, pains, sprains, hangnails, warts, indigestion, whatever…)

                      50 pounds is impressive; nice work.  How much do you plan to lose?

                            Just completed LVL II Skogg test  2.5 min of snatches with each arm was tougher then I anticipated. My arms are pretty dead right now.

                                      like a week? pretty sure i've always got a ship notice after a few days
                                      not some sort of a preorder situation? I think they've done that in the past with short run colors and stuff.

                                          Excited to receive the new gear but its  two days too late for me to use on my next adventure. Disappointed… I know they had received a ton of orders for the new color ways on their products but not sure how my order fell through the cracks
