the chrome ball incident: windmilling















As our Pittsburgh Chapter comes to a close, the Chrome Ball Incident will be on hiatus now through the month of September as we relocate westward.

Updates will resume in early October as soon as the crates arrive. 



This is not the end of CBI but a new beginning for my family and I.  
Please wish us luck as we stare out into the abyss.

Thanks for the support and see you on the other side.

Your friend and humble narrator,
Chops

Chops' got friends in every town and village from here to the Sudan. He speaks a dozen languages, knows every local custom. He'll blend in, disappear. You'll never see him again. With any luck, he's got the Grail already.

It's going to be a long month! Maybe I'll have to restart at the beginning.

Best of luck on the move and glad to hear this is not the end!

Hey Chops,

I've been reading your blog everyday for a long time now, and haven't commented (shame on me!). But, I want to wish you luck with the move, and thank you for all you do. Down for Life!

All I can say is learn to adapt to being relaxed. It's the west coast mufucka! I hope you have a good trip. Road trips are the best. I just got back from a month and a half. I already want to head back out.
Make the adventures, Chops.

Good luck on your move.
If Portland is your move, I'd gladly buy you some beers. Nostalgia demands it.

Sent you an email awhile back. If you need beer or an old man skate session, let me know.

Good luck. Hope the move goes well. I'll hold down the fort for the old dudes with scanners for the month of September.

Dave said...

Thanks for all that you do, Chops. Best of luck on the move and transitioning to Portland life. You'll be missed for the next month or so, but, like @Jeff Thorburn said, maybe it's time to start back at the beginning. Safe travels.

You are the coolest dude chops! Hats off for the years of dedication. Sincerest thanks for years of breakfast time reads and nostalgia every morning before school/work. Wouldn't be the same without the chrome ball.
Welcome to the west.
