The Stash Enhancement Experience

First off, have you ever wanted Addi Turbos to have pointier tips? Read Grumperina’s post and then send in your thoughts to the Skacel company! I’ve already sent my e-mail. Second off then, here’s the STUFF. I bought a 2+ pound cone of 2/4 Highland Tweed from Webs. At the price it was, it was […]
