Mister and Missus Grumps are truly one of a kind. They just delivered my skis to my apt in Brooklyn from the far off land of Queens...
and it looks and feels like he did something serious to make them better. Hopefully I can ski better-er come Taos judgement day.

P.S. @KingGrump, I really like the hoody look on you.

The best part is I melted down all the wax scraping from that ski for reuse. Now, I don't have to buy wax for the next two years. :D
There was at least couple kilograms of wax on those skis. :eek: No wonder you had problems scraping the wax off.

We are currently working the kinks out of the custom door to door pick and delivery ski tuning concept.
Did the Chinese take out thing back in the '80s. Not going that way again.

I like the Grumps too. Are these new skis (Stocklis)? Im just catching up.

Sadly the magical Stocklis were not to be. They were already sold. The shop hadn’t updated their site....that’s okay, bc those floral patterns made me want to barf. I’m now waiting for the much more minilalist top sheets to go on sale....so maybe this summer. I’ll be on my same old skis this year.

Will you also bring two crabs, one shrimp? Or was it two shrimps, one crab!?
No, no, no. It's Three Crabs.
Two crabs and a shrimp is what you get at lunch if you don't ski moguls with them in the morning.

We're a 1 squid fish sauce family. Real question is what to go with. Green payaya salad comes to mind, buy that might actually take some skill. Things to ponder.

OH YEAHHHH!! It’s the 3 crabs that work. If I bring them will I become an expert who can drop big cornices with grace and ease? I think so.

Who will be crabby, and which one is the shrimp?

You can always make custom vinyl top sheet for skis. :)

Well.... if there's one of you and two of them, and they didn't get to ski moguls...
But the question is, would three crabs really be better than two crabs and a shrimp?

We talking about the same ski?
