thanks man. I'm also switching to the heating pad instead of ice some of the time now.

I think I have "runner's knee." That's amazing because I never run anywhere...

My knee's finally starting to feel better but I'm probably going to have to stay off it until next week, so I'll miss another league game. Damn it.

I'm sitting out a league game tonight for the first time in... forever, because of my bad knee. I'm thinking it might be related partially to the fact that I have ZERO flexibility, so I've decided to undertake a serious regimen of stretching, and hope it helps before I consider any doctor related assistance.

I did a heavy leg workout Tuesday, practiced 100-150 shots Wednesday. I woke up Thursday with a real stiff knee. Even still, I went to stick n puck today. Well, a pick up game broke out, full ice, 5-5 no subs for a half hour. In addition to playing like fried shit, I severely aggravated an already existing knee strain. So now I don't think I can play in my league game this weekend or at all for a while, wee.

I just had a really good shoot around session in my dungeon. This past weekend at pick up, I was playing all A/B level players, including 2 ex pros, and an A level goalie. Long story short, I had a 2 on 1 with the puck coming down the off wing, get just inside the lip of the slot, 10 feet away, saw that 4-5 inch spot above his right shoulder, knew I could make the shot but hit right off the top of his chest. I've been working myself hard ever since.

I had great speed at open hockey tonight, so I'm very pleased with that. Sadly, I've lost my dangling ability, but it'll come back with time.

Apparently, those little rodent motherfuckers are still eating into my engine bay, despite strong efforts to stop them. If it's any worse than it was last time, my car might end up as a total loss, sooo NOT cool.

I used to get tons and tons of badly ingrown neck hairs and I had a few get infected too. My solution was to switch back to a Mach III instead of an electric and change how often I shave and how I shave. BTW, Will, get well soon. I did something very similar to a pinky finger of mine, has a nice little scar on it.

I finally got my car back after the little fuckers did $1,100 in damage. I get some small rodent repellent, which is mint oil and concentrated fox piss. Wow, talk about a smell. I don't care as long as it doesn't happen again though, and if it does, I'm going full commando style with the air rifle...

RIP. BTW, I feel a mesothelioma lawsuit coming out of this...

Apparently squirrels or rats ate the unholy shit out of the wiring in my engine and basically destroyed it. I'm looking at a repair bill of a grand minimum, it might be up to two grand or more. My life just keeps getting better

Not to seem cruel, but it was kind of amazing he made it that far. Dude was dropping drugs I hadn't even heard of.

So I get in my car today, reverse out of the lot and hit the gas- but it's still going 2 mph. I figure I must've accidentally put the parking brake on, nope. I get out, look under the hood, and then under the car. Everything looked fine but my car would not accelerate or rev at all, it was literally stuck at idle, 2mph or so. Another grand down the drain, and I don't have that kind of money laying around. Things have really been going downhill since I got broken into and robbed/burglarized.

Just wanted to post again because I got really lucky and someone dropped off another team so I got added and will even get to play forward most/all of the time :)

So I apparently won't have a team at all this season. The Captain did everything but promise me I would be on his final roster, but since he went out of town, the Assistant C finished it without being told, and it was already submitted. I hate people...

Hockey leagues in Florida are run so bad, it's one step beyond a joke. General try outs were tonight and the asshole running it is basically interested in showing off his knowledge of advanced drills, needless to say, he completely confused the hell out of everyone and everything went to hell. I love washed up showoffs in such a big way...

I just got robbed, well, technically burglarized/home broken into. It's nice that the ONE time in the past 10 years I've had more than $100 cash at home, it got stolen. This just makes a great week even better.

That's sage advice, my man. I got a lot better in my agility pretty quickly, and I was pleased. Then I saw how these guys could do everything I could do agility wise, but 50% faster...

I played with a couple really good players last night, including a former D 1 defenseman, and a pair of euro pros. I learned how much I really blow at hockey. I was so pissed, I wanted to quit at the end. All the strides I made in the past year meant not a damn thing. Yeah, I scored a few goals but everyone else had at least 7 or 8.

Shipping is slow all over the US because of this snowstorm crap.

I've had a one95 pm9 95 flex, it's nice and custom yellow but a bit whippier than listed. I'm hoping ebay helps me clear some space or I might need a storage locker soon.

Any info on that Graf stick, how did it feel?

A-holes who think yield means stop. A-holes who think you should yield when you're already in front of them. A-holes who think stop signs are merely a novel suggestion. Old people who drive 30 in a 45. I could go on for a while...

I like the Blakbak Venom's pretty well. Nice puck feel and a great snapper. But the weight and balance certainly could be better. I think they're good for $80-90 but need improvement to become top level. I've wanted to try the Farrell sticks for a while, but I've heard they break really easily.
