if the Good Lord didn’t want me to manufacture routes he wouldn’t have created drills
my new drill:
injuring things I didn’t know I had
Apparently I have a thing called a sternoclavicular joint. And it’s pissed. update: It’s much better now.

Keeping with this crankenstein.com theme I’m trying out a new method of video delivery – an inappropriately complex and compulsively robust technique that’s fully rad.
