Well, the other night, me and Mr. Evil Skew went head to head.
I gave him a new grind, the one he had was too long, and I also gave him a slight curve.
We went round and round, and made some really nice long curlies, not once did he try to bite me.
At the end of the session, we shook hands with some new respect for each other.
I'd not call him "Friend" yet, but I'd sure say we are on the same side now, and we are building some trust.
It's a beautiful thing
Cheers!
