You forgot to update the signature Congrats on a new Ao12 and Ao5 PB

Thanks!! And new single pb as well!!!

I was updating as you guys were posting

 

[MarcelP]

Oh wow I totally missed the 23 second solve! Nice job!!

 

[Crazycubemom]

Yuhuuuuuuuuuuuuu Congrats Babe

Showering sub 30 sec :tu

 

[Kattenvriendin]

YAYYY thanks

I will hopefully continue on now. That rut was NOT fun. So stupid.. wanting to turn but not being able to.. man... no don't want that again.. ugh.

 

[Lchu613]

gotta hate locking!

 

[Kattenvriendin]

DEFINITELY.

I do notice that I need a loooong time of cubing still before my times get better, but I am sure that will sort itself out in due time

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Alrightttt! Consistency hath returned for the largest part. Every now and then things lock up again but I can sort that with a firm grip on a side and turn that way.

If you ever see me suddenly grip the cube in a weird way, you will now know what happens at that point and it frustrates me to NO end

However now I can still drag a high 30 out of that one. Rock on hands lol

here is my latest timed set of 25. Broke my AO12 pb with it

One of those 20s could have been a PB had I not done something utterly stupid lol

Nice! Your no. Of 20s solves have been increasing. :tu

[Kattenvriendin]

Yes.. I have actually done LOTS of 50s and even more. I needed to get out of that rut and the only way to do it is like with riding a bike; fall off get back on and keep going.

I must have done hundreds of solves in those two to three days.. and started this morning early already at 6am so those 25 you see now are likely solves something like 150 or so. LOL

 

[MarcelP]

I think he ment you are getting more sub 30 solve's What I also noticed..

Exactly Marcel! Wrong wording haha

[Kattenvriendin]

OWHHHH lol yeah.. I find that too. It's fun!

Where previously it would be ok to get a sub40 solve now it irritates me to get one LOL how soon we progress and get used to things huh!

 

[MarcelP]

I rarely get sup 30 solves. 95% are sub 30.. So when I get a 31 I feel slow.. And not long ago (early December 2012) I was averaging 31-33 seconds.. LOL..

 

[Kattenvriendin]

My thoughts exactly... I just set a new PB again and after that did a 41 solve. GRRRR

Ok.. happy about pb though lol




New session with new PB!

I had 24.73 on that scramble with no skips

 

[Kattenvriendin]

I had a BIG skip with it, but I said frack it.. it's mine. Mats had one and that WR stands, so.. so will my solve time *firm nod* lol


My panshi is here!! *goes unbag*

 

[kunparekh18]

I guess mine from PA will arrive soon also then. Are you going to make a video?

 

[Kattenvriendin]

I'll show a few pictures.

Just got done putting the pieces together. One of the stalks was HALF broken off.. good thing I have the habit of gluing the corners together and I immediately glued the stalks of that one together as well. Whew.. close one!

here's an overview pic: Blatantly advertising Albert Heijn here LOL

Spoiler

And here is a close up of the one corner with the one half broken stalk in there. That rope is tiny mind you hahaha. You can see the glue sitting there at the crack. I have added some glue on there to seal things off. Any excess will rub off in time I am sure and the gluing together of the stalks will hopefully prevent further damage in that area:

Spoiler

They are currently still caught in their ropes. I will assemble in a bit.. gotta catch my breath first. I have assembled many cubes, and many dayans, this was the first one where I was actually scared to assemble those corners out of fear of breaking something!

 

[MarcelP]

Yeah, these corners are so freak'in thin.. You handled that broken corner well
