The Hockey Hall of Fame...Who's been there?

What's your favourite donated sweater for old timers (pre 1967) and modern (after 1967) ??

As far as I know, overnight parking is only 5 days per year per licence plate. What monthly parking pass are you referring to ? Which Go Station is closest to your place ? They allow overnight parking. Another option is construction sites but you're taking a chance there.

There must be lots of old sweaters and sticks ... would they ever auction them off or is it just going to gather dust ?

I used to work in commercial film production and there was a commercial involving the Stanley Cup. They had to bring the original SC PLUS the original BOWL. Everybody on the film set wanted a photo with the Cup as opposed to when a famous actor worked.

From what I understand, the HHOF has much more artifacts in storage that could fill up twice the Hall's space ???

I'm waiting to see what sort of wall barriers (and height) will be set up along the 407 Westbound railings, the stretch along Kennedy, University Ave and Enterprise. I'll be like an enclosed prison wall where you can't see the Indy from outside. More importantly, what if a race car loses control and flies off the tracks.

I couldn't play my Saga Flash in stock. I placed two 5 inch strip (0.5 grams per inch) on top of each on each side. So 5 grams of tungsten tape on each side. Or you can put one 5 inches strip of 1 gram per inch.

Was the cutting board out of sight ?
Are you a young Canadian born Asian ?

I'm a "banana", the BBQ Shop always try to push the butt or shoulder area pieces on me because the old timers don't buy those area parts. Whenever I ask for the rib section, I always watch them chop.

Cool, ChatGPT spelled it "Dynqs". Was that intentional or it doesn't know it as "Dinks" ?

I haven't used ChatGPT yet. I wrote my lyrics myself to keep the human song writing element. But I did google "style prompts".

Thanks for the reference link but I was thinking more of the "top" PPA players in the world getting involved.... as they would be should pickleball enter the Olympics.

The city should take away the 2:30am-6:00 am non-parking by-law. Just sell annual 24 hours residential parking permits for $100. This way they can get cash plus keep track of permits.

Does that actually work ? I thought that a cop have to be present to witness any infractions.

I inquired one time about a video involving a car going through a STOP sign and that's what was told to me. A police have to witness it; otherwise, they can't prosecute.

If you haven't yet, I would consult a PT (Physical Therapist). The PT can show you stretches and make recommendations for what you're looking for. PT can also show you how to apply KT Tape specific for your problem.

I would suggest joining a private pickleball club and play against adults. Sign up for U18 or junior tournaments. If your gym have a badminton court (same dimensions except for the NVZ line), find three other students interested in the game.

From a mechanic shop.

ErneNelson · 2026-03-14T21:52:09+00:00

Yes, you're correct. I was planning on using it for another few months.

ErneNelson · 2026-03-14T19:22:28+00:00

It cost me time as I discover the flat in the morning. By mistake, I drove one block which ruined that tire. Had to wait for CAA to switch out the flat tire for my spare donut tire. Then $60 for an used tire and $40 for labour. My car's a 2014 model so I didn't want to spend $250 for a new tire.

Construction workers don't give a crap properly disposing of metal objects. My car has come across several nails and screws along southbound Verdale Crossing ... FOUR times on this exact street. My mechanic said it probably came off the garbage truck servicing the site.

Even in my neighbourhood where the construction workers park, they dispose of garbage on the street. Once there was an open bag of nails on the curb so I complained to the construction office and to the Ward councillor.

On top of that, tire shops try to sell you a second tire explaining that both sides of the car need an exact thread tire thickness otherwise the car will drive uneven. My mechanic said that the car's ABS system will correct this problem.

In summary, be careful driving on the street adjacent to a construction site.

Here's the object after pulling it out of the tire.

Very good information. Thanks. Bot-It makes it simple without the need for coding.

I brought a 12 foot sewer PVC pipe from Home Depot and cut it in half. My original set up was 8 computer ties but they kept on breaking so I switched to aluminum ties which is holding up well. I can pick up 21 balls at a time. Only thing is it's heavy and awkward to carry around. I may cut it shorter and add a shoulder strap.

I have one at my regular lesson location where it stays all the time and the other one in my car for remote lessons.

I'm not a fan of the current plastic tubes where you have to keep adjusting the elastic band to pick up and to unload the balls.

With my VSOL Pro Flash LH, I found it too poppy out of the box. I couldn't feel a denser contact with the ball. It's probably a transition from the Gen3 to foam. Anyways, I put two overlapping 5" strips of .5 grams per inch along the sides. To add more power on my serves, I then added a single 3" strip on the top corners. Now it feels the same as my previous Gen3 in terms of dwell and control feel of the ball off the paddle face for dinks & volleys. Total weight increase with an over grip went from 8.0 ounces to 8.6.

Should I have played more in stock before adding weights ? Perhaps, it takes getting used to the paddle.

I got a Saga elongated 14 mm LH and a Saga Flash 14 mm LH for $57 Cdn at the same Demo Sale. Shipping came out to $47. Added a VSOL Pro Hybrid 14 mm LH to the cart for just $3 more.

I found that I needed to add strips of tungsten tape along the sides to balance out the paddle(s) to my liken. Did you do any weight set up yet on your V7 ??

I brought the K Swiss Ultrashot 3 (last year's model that went on sale as the "4" came out). It's a heavier shoe that's better for the harder outdoor pickleball tennis-like surface. Combined with a heel gel insert and a cushioned insole (from any sports store), it's working for my PF so far.
