Yes, it is in the hockey field.

Well this company charged my card, the transaction has been posted. They will need to reverse the charge, not release a hold. As far as the "amazing" ability to process orders, as I stated above, there are companies that appear to have no problem meeting these expectations.

Surprise!!! No shipping number, because the item is not in stock. 30ish hours after ordering, I get the call that the item they advertised in stock, was not. They couldn't get the logistics of knowing their inventory or getting an order shipped, but they sure can get my AMEX billed and have my money in their hand. They'd be happy to send a different item. Order cancelled. I may be asking too much, but appears that it's an expectation for me(wouldn't bother me so much I guess, if it wasn't) and if a company cannot achieve it, I'll shop elsewhere whenever possible.

Have my trip to Lake Powell planned and set(end of the month). So excited to get down there for some great time with family and friends. Let the Summer begin!!!!

Am I expecting too much? Why does it take over 24 hours to get a tracking # from a shop? With todays tech today, I think online vendors should have you a tracking number in no less than 12 hours. If the item was ordered before 11:00 AM local time, that item should ship that day. Because of this, I RARELY venture outside of vendors that I know can accomplish it without missing a beat. But there always comes something that I want/need & can't get at my regular shops. At these times, I am reminded of what I considered unacceptable customer service.

It's not often I get to play competitively with my son, but he was able to join me at a drop in tonight. So much fun & his on the bench coaching me is awesome. Every shift, has what I did in his head, tells me good and needs improvement stuff. Double bonus when the guy that runs the skate told me my son was a great kid, didn't act like an asshat out there(apparently have that issue with young pups regularly) & welcome anytime. Anyway....good night, fun night.

Enjoy weddings so much, have had a few of them.... My advice, it's your wife's day, let her have the wedding she wants. Guys don't grow up thinking about their wedding day. Unless the request(s) is just batchit crazy, just say yes and smile.

Couple solid hours of drop in, now it don't even feel bad about how much I'm going to eat and drink tonight! Meat is on the grill and bourbon in my glass.

My son wants to check out a couple different kick points at the same time, so took this delivery today.

After about 100 minutes of hockey tonight, 3 periods and 6 over times, my son buried a slap shot to win the Championship for his beer league team. Fun stuff!

Last game of the travel season for the boys, everyone had a 'stache to put on, if they wanted. Sort of a tradition(did it last year as well). My daughter had one on for a few minutes, but said it distracted her and pulled it. All three coaches had them on as well....

BACK & CRUSHING!

Tournament 2 weeks ago(her girls team played in a boys division) my little one getting run into the boards... PS called, unfortunately she was dinged and couldn't take it. Sequence of run into boards - Opposing players dad wanted him thrown.... I was in the bench and they were asking out loud if they could run a kid related to his dad in the stands.... And my last shot of the season for my son this year with the Skatin' Utes. Was just a scrimmage before Nationals... Solid season for the boys, he didn't get much ice time, but had a few points and loved the team, learned a lot.

The University of Utah Skatin' Utes start Nationals with a win over Missouri State.... Great game, so fun!!

Getting off the snide! Been a bit since I've lit the lamp.... Tonight finally grinned one. It was ugly, behind the net, tried to throw it in front for a chance, caught a skate, off the pipe and in, popped out immediately, under the goalie. I'll take it! Funny, besides me and the refs, everyone was getting at the faceoff circle. I skated to center ice and sat, finally had to say to my team "hey, Boys, that's a goal." Truth be told, don't know if the ref didn't make a big call or what, I had to look to see if a ref was at the scorers table to confirm....(when I spoke up) Wouldn't have mattered, but won in shootout, after being down 2. Fun night and better yet, love a game with two well matched teams. Won't post in the crap spot, but last shift broke a stick...

Couple of the boy last night...

Tough break, MThockeydad. Sending good JuJu for a quick and full recovery. Audible laugh at Chippa13's response. I also had no idea and did not Google.

Crazy how attached we get to our furry family members, BenderHockey. Sending good JuJu your way.

AWESOME!!! Congrats to the girls!

Same as Mojo122, AMT trainer is what I prefer to a regular elliptical. Like you, I find a regular elliptical awkward.

Disagree. There are plenty of ways to burn calories... It's not so much "easy" as just not enduring it. Kinda like hockey, burn a chitton of calories and it's fun, doesn't mean it's easy, just something that you're not focusing on the fact that you're exercising. Need to find things like that. Some people love to run, it's not my bag. I run to train, but it's work. When I get on the bike, it's fun, like hockey.... I can do a monster climb, roadie or MTB & it's challenge, not means to an end.

Nothing better than finding a way to burn calories at the club, where you don't just have to endure it....

Yep... Just dropping proud dad. Though he won't touch, says he wasn't on the ice for either, he's been on the ice this season & dropped points, it's a hockey thing. Still proud as a peacock.... Meh...always been taller at 6'2"....but looks like he's jumping me....

Snow? I live in Utah and we're in a heat wave.... Have had a crazy Winter.... Can you vent for no snow? I'm going to end up summerizing the snowblower without using it, let alone ever shoveling? Been like 55-70 the last bit....feels like mid-late March....

BOOM!!! Such a great weekend!!!! Sun Valley Champions with the 12U girls(really just undefeated, not an actual tournament) PAC8 Hockey Champions in Tahoe!
