I first went at 29 or 30 years old after being a lifelong hockey player. I knew it was going to happen pretty quickly, but it took about 5 minutes before I tried to cross over after a stop. I see all the teens on the hill and I'm trying to go full on Scott Stevens, open ice style lol. Too bad they're all faster and better than me. Quote

Having an ice skating background def helped a ton with picking it up. I don't know how fast beginners typically go, but I think my life flashed before my eyes a couple times 😂😂 I just dug the edges in and kept flying. I'm sad I didn't pick this sport up earlier in life. Started downhill very early 20's. Had done cross country for a few years & skated forever. Once the kid finally twigged onto going faster allows you to maneuver, it got a lot more fun. Quote
North Buffalo Posted December 31, 2022 Report Posted December 31, 2022 Unfortunately it rained in Oregon, we were going to go skiing at MT Bachelor... sigh... but good news beer league team won tonight 3-0 ... primary assist on 2nd goal drop pass went to the net screened goalie as puck whistled passed both myself and the goalie... back breaking goal... last one was an empty netter sealing the deal...

SABRES 0311 Posted January 3, 2023 Report Posted January 3, 2023 We got some snow in northern Nevada the last two days. Did some sledding in the backyard last night with the kids. I found out you can still hit rocks when you don’t see them. 2 Quote

Popular Post ubkev Posted January 6, 2023 Popular Post Report Posted January 6, 2023 My hot water heater blew last night while I was at work. Why isn't this in the complaint thread? Because my neighbor came over today, went with me to the hardware store, helped me pick out a new one, let me use his military discount, threw it on his truck, brought it down and installed it for me over about 2 and a half hours tonight. I could have never done this job on my own. I simply don't have the know how. But I do now! If I'd have had the plumber come out to do this job it would have cost me 2 grand. This cost me $600 for the new tank. I tried to pay my neighbor $300 for helping me out and he flat out refused. Some people are just awesome. Now I'm getting him and his wife a gift card to a pretty nice restaurant in town and I'm not letting him refuse me this time. Good people are just plain awesome. 2 1 9 Quote

Ogre Posted February 1, 2023 Report Posted February 1, 2023 I was pulled over by a sheriff this morning for speeding. 69 in a 55. (Giggidy) I immediately admitted my guilt. He took a good look at the supplementary stickers by my registration. He asked if I had been working. I gave him a look, I said “We’re always working.” He smiled. Told him last site I’d been at and the wonky reason why. He said “You’re all good. Just have to run your license to make sure you’re not wanted” with a grin. He gave me it back and then said “Keep up the good work. We’re all behind what you guys are doing.” Then I tried to recruit him! 😎 (btw, this was a short, bright moment in my bay-***** crazy job, which is also my 25/7 life until I resign or retire!🤪) Quote

Employing, Training, Organizing, Dispatching, Recruiting, Solving disputes, Mentoring young people. Lifting people out of poverty into a strong middle class. I had just come from the VA. We were invited in to clean up a mess left by the less trained. The sheriff greatly appreciated it. FTR, I greatly appreciate what he does as well. The level at which I appreciate his kind financially was reflected by the supplementary stickers. Nothing special to most. Quote
Doohicksie Posted February 13, 2023 Report Posted February 13, 2023 We adopted a cat Saturday... the gray tabby in the picture.

We didn't make any of these up. 3 1 Quote
Doohicksie Posted February 23, 2023 Report Posted February 23, 2023 I just got a shipment of tamales. The girl up the street is fundraising for a school trip to Portugal, selling tamales for $15/dozen. So I got 4 dozen. They're STILL WARM. I've had food from her, her mama and her abuela before; they know their stuff. Quote
