Allow myself to introduce myself
« on: February 05, 2013, 08:38:01 PM »

Hello, I'm Mrraindog23 and I spin tops. I was introduced to spintops by my old friend,
the incomparable Mr. Chris Neff.
That was a couple of years ago. Now I find myself driving him to yoyo workshop every two weeks.
 I enjoy fixed tip play and battle tops.

Hello! nice to meet you! :)
I've never heard of someone being into battle tops though, I always thought that was more of a secondary thing compared to the tricks.
Welcome to the forums!

To mrraindog23, I say welcome.  Hope you enjoy yourself around these parts.  Sounds like you already have a good background in spinning items.  Look forward to hearing more of your stories with the Neffster.

I live just a few miles from a place called Moraine.  Your log in name reminds me of a canine from that town!

Welcome to the forum, Mr. Rain Dog XXIII !

Battle tops sometimes also becomes a serious business around here.

Keep an eye on Neff for us  :D

To protect mrraindog's identity, i will call him Scott.  That's not his real name though, I swear.  More about Scott, he is a pretty darn good top spinner, and so are his sons;  Sparky and Twigg.  No need to protect their identity, they will be rockstars soon enough.  Also, Scott has started learning the ways of the wood lathe, turning some wood yo-yo's that are quite nice.   It's only a matter of time before he turns some tops. 

I'm going to take this opportunity to publicly thank Scott for carting me to workshop and all the support he and his family have given me over the years.  Thank you!

Scott looks like a real nice fellow
But when it rains , his dog turns yellow!
You wonder why such a strange transformation??
Because a raindog can spin in yello-motion ;--)

cheerio
