I bought an IMS 11 at the start of the season to replace my old 5000. The comfort increase is insane. My only gripe is the yellow XRD or whatever foam takes forever to dry out. Overall a great bucket.

Interesting choice of jerseys. How did you guys end up with Jokerit winter classic ones?

Second game with my club last night, still not where we want to be, but improving. Lost 3 (31 SOG) to 0 (16 SOG). The other team's coach came to our room after the game to let me know that they were talking about some of my better saves - including a stop on a 2 on 0 late cross crease pass, that I stopped off the one timer. Mood within the group is still great, and we're all feeling the improvement every period. Our first goal isn't far away! I just hope it happens before the regular goalie comes back...

Forgot to snag a picture a few weeks ago, but I swapped from an IMS 5.0 with a cage to an IMS 11.0 with a half shield. WAY more comfortable.

yeah, i'll have to go digging thru the LHS soon and look for an upgrade to the current bucket.

this is good to know. i'm currently in IMS 5.0 with a visor, and something needs to change, by mid game, my dome swells up a bit, and the cheap foam of the 5.0 isn't so much fun. :( for where to find $160 for the 11.0

On Monday, my partner and I picked up a psychiatric patient for transfer from a major hospital ER to a psychiatric facility. Turns out that Major Hospital ER didn't do such a hot job searching Patient's belongings, 'cause when Patient asked if we could get his (sealed, no worries) Gatorade out of his backpack for him, we all discovered he was in possession of a steak knife. Fortunately, he was a cooperative guy, and told us we should take it and not leave it with him. (This was during the hour we spent in a locked 5x8" foyer waiting for someone to take Patient for admittance to the facility, because facility in question is badly understaffed and was in the middle of a crisis.) Thanks, Major Hospital ER. That could've gotten ugly. Fortunately it did not, and my partner and I got a reassuring rundown from the supervisor at the end of shift on what to do about contraband like that (or lighters, or matches, or drugs, or whatever else the patient has in their belongings), and then the supervisor made sure we got ice cream for EMS week.

Younger daughter went from the MT Player Development Camp to the Northern Plains District Player Development Camp in Grand Forks, ND last weekend, and just got the invite today to attend the Multi-District Player Development Camp in July at Kent State in Ohio. I'm scared. To me she's still just a little kid with a huge heart and a messy room. (Pic from the ND camp - she's in the #14 blue jersey with the red helmet---my tall ugly ass is on the far right)

...and i'm out.

All by my lonesome last week at a stick and puck. Sometimes it's fun to just skate around by yourself!
