Here's some more detail. The bid was at $170 when I left the rink earlier today.

Maybe 4-5 hours spread out over a weekend. I didn't have a pattern to work with so there was some trial and error from the picture in my head. Spray painting the legs goal post red took the longest because of the drying time.

I just put these together for a charity auction next weekend. Bench: Washers set:

I posted that pic in the Cutting OPS thread after someone suggested salvaging the S17/S19 blades, which I've also done. That one had a bad blade so I put it together for a teammate who wanted a long plug. It's about 11 inches.

It's absolutely douchebaggery, and for the most part ragging the puck in you own end is pathetic and breaking an unwritten rule, you just need to throw an intense fore-check at them. The biggest offense is turning away from a breakaway. There is a difference between not running up the score and rubbing it in. That would be considered douchebaggery at its finest. Have they ever heard of just dumping it in and sending one forechecker and drop four back in D? That's what we usually end up doing if we ever get up by that much or try to get the ppl who don't score a lot of goals some chances at shots on net. As for the breakaway he should have skated it in and shot at the goalies chest or "missed the net" if they didn't want to look like douchebags. I was just about to say shoot six-hole on the breakaway. Machinehead beat me to it. For the record, my wife (who watches but doesn't play) just asked me what I was typing. After explaining the breakaway turnaround even SHE says it's not cool. She also laughed at douchewaffles.

Dig is one of my favourite pre-game psych-up songs. Play it loud on your way to the rink and you're itching to hit the ice.

I Mother Earth. I'm listening to Scenery & Fish right now. I forgot what a great disc it is from start to finish. Used to be Alright still pops up on some of my old mixes when I'm driving. Great throwback.

A gas card is nice in the short term, but let them get you something you'll have for a while. My parents bought my brothers and me watches when we graduated. I still have the watch 15 years later. It's not engraved or anything, but it's still my Grad Watch and it reminds me of high school and my parents. Rustpot, where do you live? That fast food place looks like it could be the back of Molly's Reach. Your picture sent me straight to youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FteZimbz59I...073&index=0
