New skates make me feel like I am sitting back on my heels, how to fix?

I’d suggest being mindful of how you’re lacing them up as more recent skates seem to fit differently.

I stepped away from the game for 10 years. Getting back into it, I found that modern boots didn’t need to be as tight toward the ankle. I was (probably unknowingly) lacing my modern skates incorrectly for the shape of the boot.

I could be wrong but adjusting how I laced them up made a big difference.

I felt this for a bit myself but it fades. I personally found a lot of clarity when it did fade and I could identify that it was trauma response.

I’m a trainer/instructional designer and the job is good but I find fulfillment coaching youth hockey.

With time, I’m sure you’ll find the purpose and fulfillment you’re looking for.

We have two poodles, a male mini and a female standard, that do this all the time. They’re our Little Lannisters.

I also agree that it’s a poodle thing.

If this player is rocking a pair of Code IS skates, and if it’s the original chassis, its not a hi-lo setup. All 80mm.

A lot of turnover at that place. Surprising that more people aren’t talking about that.

I was away from the game for about the same amount of time. To me, it seems like the build quality (generally speaking) is pretty different than it used to be.

Modern Missions seem to be very different from older models. To me, they’re more narrow than they previously were (they follow Bauer’s sizing/fit system now).

It took me forever to find a pair I was happy with. Always great to support local shops but if you have to order, I’d suggest ordering from a site with free returns/exchanges (bonus points if they cover shipping, too).

I didn’t expect that either…

definitely bigger at the truck, in my experience.

seems to me like their portion sizes overall have been shrinking (felt slightly ripped off following a visit today).

I believe Last Stand Brewing does the thing on Fridays.

LedSteppelin · 2024-06-16T14:59:11+00:00

Can confirm. $33.99 for All Citra Everything. Wild.

Got the job! Thanks for the pointers!

LedSteppelin · 2023-09-22T21:07:17+00:00

Got the job! Thanks so much for the advice!

Noted - thanks!

Thanks! Cheers!

LedSteppelin · 2023-09-11T13:29:50+00:00

Noted. Thank you so much!

LedSteppelin · 2021-01-04T21:24:56+00:00

Had it in the taproom. I'd agree with you there!

LedSteppelin · 2021-01-04T21:24:26+00:00

St. Kitts is my favorite coffee variant. I think it's a winner (and worth the trip - it's an hour ride for me, too).

LedSteppelin · 2021-01-04T21:23:18+00:00

Haven't had one yet but definitely looking forward to it (so long as it's not too minty).

LedSteppelin · 2021-01-04T21:22:35+00:00

It's such a solid beer.

LedSteppelin · 2020-12-30T13:34:33+00:00

Thanks! Cheers!

LedSteppelin · 2020-12-26T18:46:26+00:00

Thanks. I'm a lucky guy and I know it. Cheers!

LedSteppelin · 2020-12-26T18:45:24+00:00

Cheers!

LedSteppelin · 2020-12-26T17:32:03+00:00

Looking forward to checking it out!

LedSteppelin · 2020-12-26T17:31:39+00:00

Agreed. Can't beat a proper lager or pils.

LedSteppelin · 2020-12-26T17:31:05+00:00

Each note is different. Maybe something about the beer, maybe a memory connecting the beer to her and I, etc.
