For anyone who understands the significance of such things…

Porter just lucked into a pair of BRAND NEW JACKSON ELITE SUPREMES for $200 CAD. (That’s $150 USD)

A man lacing up a pair of new skaing boots.

We wanted to buy a pair of used boots to put some pic frames on, so I posted on a local skater buy and sell group.

Someone messaged to ask if new was ok, her friend had a shop with this pair, said they’re open to offers.

I let her know that we hadn’t really considered new because it’s just for roller, and we weren’t looking to spend more than $200…

… and they accepted it as an offer!

So we made the drive out near London to try them on.

Two feet wearing black skating boots.

… damned if they didn’t fit him *perfectly*.

A man in a chair. He's wearing a face mask and reaching down to one foot.

… that man has horseshoes up his ass.

Is he going to be overbooted like crazy with these?

Yes.

Are we going to have to change our plans and put the Pic frame on his current ice boots (Jackson Freestyle Fusion)?

Also yes.

A smug middle aged man wearing new skating boots, leaning back in a chair.

HELL of a deal, though!

Hey, I'm Marie!

I skated as a kid, and have been making the long, rough road back as an adult.

This time, I have a husband to drag along with me :)

I started back in early 2019, and ran into dual roadblocks in 2020 - the pandemic, and being severely crippled by FOUR PILLS of Ciprofloxacin - an antibiotic that destroyed most of the tendons in both of my feet.

Oh, and pancreatic cancer. Fun stuff.

I've learned to walk again, and in October 2021, I started back. Again.

Here's where I'll chronicle the whole mess!
