Hypoglycemia, I get it time to time its annoying but nothing too bad

After 4 years of not touching a gun, I shoot my first highpower match silhouette match since High School and win my class along with shooting 5 in a row chicken and almost pigs. Also got my College Degree in the mail today so overall not a bad day

Its from Viva La Bam extras, the video is there I think just as filler

(youtube) )My reason why I don't feel bad

I love it when new skates break after an hour of use huzzahhh!

In case you wanted to see an APX in half

1st - Online classes suck 2nd - My new job for summer calls me day before graduation "Oh we need to reschedule orientation because we don't have enough people to fill the minimum" - So another week without working because they can only do orientation once a week and then you start working the next week for a job that is seasonal so it eats into the time I have available to work....dumbasses

Very true Chadd

Senior Week of drinking and partying with my best friends and graduated today. Summed up the best 4 years of my life, gonna miss it all!

Anyone listen to old school metal and rock like Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, etc?? Nothing like pulling into the rink parking lot blasting metal and having all the hockey moms give you that look haha

Nah, floyd rose needed to be set deeper into the guitar, don't know why I never thought to look there in the first place haha

I took me 3 years but I finally took the time to actually fix my guitar which only needed a few turns of an Allen key to fix. My custom strat is finally perfect....3 years after I built it

Equipment sale season coming right around the corner, cannot wait!

Took a nice wrist shot right to the back of my head today, had to leave the game but thankfully no concussion.

Bumping an old thread with my custom strat I made myself, labor of love haha Specs of my Strat: Warmoth Body (forget wood type) Original Floating Floyd Rose Seymour Duncan SH-4 in Bridge Seymour Duncan Vintage in Middle Seymour Duncan Hot-Rails in Neck 22 Fret Maple Neck with Jumbo frets Authentic Schaller Tuners (Made in Germany) My setup includes (No pic since its all buried somewhere) B52 AT212 Amp Stock Boss Noisegate 10 Band EQ (forget brand) Hope more MSH members show off their guitars and rigs!

Missed my hockey game because this guy didn't check the website, FML PS - Went to play at a pickup in the next town as a goalie, they have 6...

This is why it would be tough for me to be a parent, and why my dad never put me into sports as a kid, because that guy would have been knocked the hell out no questions asked. People like that are compensating for something they don't have...

Got accepted to my first Law School so I am 1 for 1 on my applications so far Also bought a sweet Vaughn 8800 double cup almost new of craigslist for $30 shipped yesterday and it came today in time for me to use it!

And that is why I change my own oil If the dealership did it, just take it back and complain about their stupidity, they should give you something out of it Oh and to add: USPS taking its dear sweet time to deliver me my goalie pads, expected delivery date 2/11 my ass!

Snows melting finally, I love snow but its getting old now

Product: CCM U+ 12 Size 5.5 (Jr) Height: 5' 7.5" Weight: 185 Foot Size: 9.5 sneaker/shoe Foot Shape: Small Arch, about average shape, higher volume Level and use: 2-3 times a week, beer league and pickup Previous Skates: Vapor x30 Background: My Vapor x30's were defective and I went to my LHS to find a suitable replacement. I was upset over the poor quality control with my skate that I avoided Bauer skates (Bauer corporate resolved my issue for the record so I would consider Bauer skates again). I tried on Reebok and they did not fit at all and the owner recommended the CCM's since he has the same size feet as me and said that I can save money and most likely fit into a 5.5 Jr size boot. I wear 6 in all other brands but the 5.5 fit like a glove. Given the choice between the 12's and CL's, I opted to save the money as the differences between the two were in my opinion minimal (CL was stiffer, made in Canada, and used a few different materials). Fit: Excellent, there is a ton of U-Foam all over the skate including the tongue to help mold to your foot. I had some issues with my Vapor locking the heel but these were snug and the Foam molded my heel nicely for a great fit. These skates will NOT fit nice out of the box and there is no shape to them until you bake them. The owner told me the baking would make them fit perfect and he was right. Compared to Vapors, they fits a half size smaller and are a tad wider. Every skate fits different feet differently so this skate will not be for everyone but if you have weird shaped feet or a flattish foot, I recommend these skates. 10/10 Blade/holder: Its an E-Pro holder and I know a lot of people love Tuuk's but personally these are doing just fine. the steel is great, they hold and edge very well and have had no problems with them. I cannot provide much details on this area due to limited knowledge but I see nothing from the many uses I have in them that would make the holder and steel a liability. 10/10 Weight/protection: The weight is amazing, very light. I did not weigh them but they are definitely a similar weight if not lighter than the Crazy Lights. Protection is not very good on these skates. Took shots of the heel and side of foot and you will feel it. My Vapor x30's had better protection and its a downside to the U+12's. Tonight I took a shot of the tongue and it absorbed a lot of the impact thanks to the foam and it didn't hurt at all. 5/10 Protection 9/10 Weight Durability: After about 20, 30 uses these show little to no wear. Damn things are tanks. The outsole is as was described to me a "golf ball" like material (I forget the name of it exactly) but it feels like a golf ball. There are not many scratches on it at all. The holder has a small chunk of plastic off it from a blade but thats normal. The steel has no rust or chips. The interior looks brand new. Stiffness has not changed and I put a lot of weight on these skates and they are junior skates! The fact that they are holding up with my 185 lbs bearing on it is amazing. I am confident a senior skate can handle extra weight. i will update this more as I play more and more on them. 9/10 Intangibles: These skates look sharp and look just like the CL's. Many people I skate with use Bauer or Graf and when they see my skates I get a lot of what are those and are those the CL's questions as well as compliments on the way they look. I am a fan of the outsole material as it feels smooth and looks glossy. Elaborating a little more on the Junior aspect of these skates, they are holding up very well. Part of me regrets not spending the extra ~$50 for the CL's just to see if there would have been a difference but I was tight on money at the time and these skates are doing great. I went back to my LHS and the owner said that his CL's are holding up great as well, same size skates. I looked at the senior model of the U+12's and they are stiffer than the juniors so for all you bigger guys and gals, you will get a stuffer boot. 10/10 Conclusion: Great skates for the price. I will most certainly look at CCM's again for future skates. The foam molding is great for odd shaped feet and they fit a bit wider than Vapors. They also look sharp and will last you a while as well. Aside from the lack of protection from shots to the side/outsole, amazing skates. Overall 9/10

This team says they needs a goalie and offer me the position so I say sure I'll do it for next season. Today just so happened to be the last game of the current season and they needed me to sub so I say sure why not. They have my $350 that I paid initially as a forward but talking to everyone on the team today, the goalie has never paid a dime. On top of that, the team flat out sucked and I'm no superstar myself but come on I counted 16 2-0 and I was able to keep the game down to 11 goals (I'm new). After the game everyone says thats its ok they were aware of their lack of D and that they want me to play. No sooner then I get home I have an email from the "team leader" (who never showed to the game) saying that I am very weak in goal and they will go with their former goalie which the team allegedly hated but I could stay as a forward. If your going to call me out at least either be there or tell me to my face, I'm 21 not 12 and this isn't high school we are adults. Best part is he wants me to play forward and rip me of my $$$ because I talked to the honest guys on the team and they told me they pay almost half of what I payed. In short I told to guy to suck a certain part of my anatomy and took my talents to my old team even to play less games for the same price, I'll just get more ice time

Nothing like having you car jack break apart as your trying to change a flat in 15 degree weather in 20 mph winds then waiting for the useless flat repair guy to come TWO HOURS LATE! as you freeze your balls off. Add to that I missed my chance to play goalie on my only break between finals andddddddd I need to buy 4 new tires!

Got my free Totalone myBauer stick in the mail, its SICK!!! Also after a long hunt for goalie gear, I bought a full set of everything for $200 with a new helmet To top it off, went to my LHS for some used goalie skates and got a used pair of One75 a year old for $50 after trading in the CCM tacks that came with the set! Only thing that can cap a weekend like this would be a great score on the LSAT....I hope!
