47 yrs old - that's too young. RIP.

10-15 hours for me. ROH is 1" or 1+1/4".

I just got some Step Speed XL (equivalent to Bauer LightSpeed 2.1), and the shark fin at the front has serrations on it. Looks like a good idea to reduce the wobble of the blade within the blade holder. I think it's relatively new; my sets of Step Speed from about 2 years ago didn't have this.

I don't know about now, but when he was with Edmonton, Chimera had great straight-line top-end speed, but normal acceleration (he is a pretty big guy) and much below-average agility. So FBV might help him in the turns while preserving his strength (the top-end speed).

Congrats on the start to your career.

K20Z3 engine? with the timing chain?

The only two people who could tell it was a dive were you and the diver. Nobody else has the neural feedback, only visual perception. I hate divers.

Nice vanity plate.

I love winter projects. Creating a daily driver?

That turn of events should actually be a Sweet Spot, because it could have been a much worse outcome. Cars and bumpers can be replaced!

This is anecdotal, but: about 7 yrs ago I got a pair of Bauer 8090s with LS2 steel. This LS2 steel didn't hold its edges very well, and you could see the spike at the point where the laser cutting started and ended. This spike caused the steel to shift around in the holder until I ground it off. Because this LS2 steel didn't hold its edges very well, I was sharpening them all the time, and then replaced them with Step steel, which required much less sharpening. Last year I got a pair of 2nd-hand One95s with LS2.1 steel. It holds its edges as well as the Step steel, and I can go an equal amount of time between sharpenings as with the Step steel. I'm still using this steel, whereas with the other LS2 steel it was done after 6 months. Maybe the newer Bauer steel is comparable to the the Step steel. I do like the taller Step steel, though - a major advantage for replacement steel.

The '95 Civic is almost ready to go, but a hailstorm in Calgary just put about 20 dents in the roof and the hood. So now it's my car.

She was a hero to a lot of people in the '80s.

Won 3 hockey games this weekend, all of the come-from-behind variety.

Just lapped the valves before re-assembling the valves and springs on the old family car ('95 Honda Civic) while getting ready to replace the main cam seal, head gasket, water pump, and timing belt.

Born on the Summer Solstice - nice! Congrats, and nice name for baby Thinkingjack.

I'm at GDC Calgary - you must be GDC Ottawa?

Won our playoff game tonight (tight game, didn't pull away until 7 mins left in the 3rd period), but then we might be disqualified for having 9 penalties (league rule). 9th penalty was for one of our ejected players returning to the enclosed viewing area and actually getting onto the ice for the handshake, before being coaxed off.

Have to replace the head gasket on the '95 Honda Civic.

Black holders - so you swapped in your 296mm LS2 holders?

Managers can go to work sick because they don't do any work!

That depends: early game, late game, or really late game?

What are your plans for the Fiero? Or are you just going to use it as-is?

It's so cold here the shampoo in the hockey bag in the trunk of my car froze.

Leaking hose or blown pump? Hopefully it's easy to fix.
