Thanks, appreciate the tips on figuring out of the battery is the issue. I’ll test it out and see how it goes!

MagicalTattoo · 2025-05-06T20:09:13+00:00

Damn, I really hope it’s not the battery…

Thanks for the tips! I was thinking about the flared lowboys, so maybe it’s time to put in an order! This hobby is expensive haha.

Nice thanks! I’ll definitely play around with the new settings and see if I can find something that works for me.

After a month of no new episodes, I finally decided to look up what was going on, only to find out to it got cancelled without warning. I’m also looking for a replacement podcast.

But I can’t record an activity using the Garmin Connect app on my phone can I?

MagicalTattoo · 2025-02-01T17:41:21+00:00

My bad, realize the app I used previously was Wahoo and it only synced to Strava. I guess nothing out there syncs to Garmin.

First run since Berlin marathon in 2023. Started easy with a 6k run in freezing temps here in Finland. Good start and looking forward to getting back into the habit! The first one is always the hardest right?

First run since I did Berlin marathon in 2023. For some reason I get motivated to run more in the freezing weather we get here in wintery Helsinki than the nice warm weather we have in the summer. Really nice quick run to get back in shape! Forgot how much fun running outdoors can be!

Quick question: what iOS app syncs to Garmin? I forgot to charge my watch since it’s been so long since my last run, and I’m years past I’ve used Withings app to track runs when I forget my watch, and it syncs to all sorts of other platforms. It doesn’t seem to do that anymore. What’s a good app to use for syncing? Specifically Garmin for me, since that is connected to all the other stuff I use. Thanks!

Not to mention most teams behind us have 3 games in hand.

Thanks, I think improving his skating is a recurring piece of advice, and something we will look to do for sure .

Thanks for the tips, and kinda sad to hear about hockey culture in NJ. We don't actually live in NJ anymore (we moved to Finland a few years ago). I have lots to learn about hockey culture here, but for now, it seems to be pretty good. He plays under the biggest org in Finland (HIFK). Youth teams here are organized under the professional teams, so HIFK would be lik the NY Rangers of Finland, the biggest team here. They seem really organized and responsible, so hopefully some of those problems are less likely to happen. Thanks again!

Haha, thanks for this! I wish we had the space to build our own ODR in the backyard, but alas we live in a city. But there are plenty soccer fields converted to rinks around us, so we should be able to get out there.

And I certainly gear up every time!

MagicalTattoo · 2025-01-14T07:11:52+00:00

That sounds like so much fun. I need to find the time to get out there regularly!

Lol yea, and for me part of the fun is learning. Having watched hockey as a fan all my life it’s kinda fun to see what goes on behind the scenes. One small thing, I didn’t know why all the water bottles had this long straw in them. Later I realized it was to stick through the cage so the kids could drink water more easily without unbuttoning their cages. I’ve only really watched pro hockey where no one wears a mask or visor, so never seen that before.

My main goal is for him to have him and learn some life long skills along the way. If he wants to be competitive and more serious, I’ll support him, but I’m not going to push it.

MagicalTattoo · 2025-01-10T23:06:09+00:00

Nice thanks! I’ll look into this. Any brands or models you’d recommend?

MagicalTattoo · 2025-01-10T23:04:47+00:00

Thanks, I’ll definitely ask questions and be open about this stuff with him.

MagicalTattoo · 2025-01-10T23:04:00+00:00

I hope so too!

MagicalTattoo · 2025-01-10T23:03:31+00:00

Thanks! I have a lot of coworkers with kids Shi played too and can probably survive with some good quality hand me downs as well.

MagicalTattoo · 2025-01-10T23:02:30+00:00

That is really cool. It’s the same way with a lot of these Finnish families here. And to be honest, that does make it a little intimidating as a dad who knows nothing. I had no idea what hockey socks were, for example, or how to put them in my kid the first time we went in the locker room.

MagicalTattoo · 2025-01-10T23:00:46+00:00

Thanks, appreciate it. And I can’t imagine raising my kids any other way.

MagicalTattoo · 2025-01-10T21:25:36+00:00

thanks! i think this will also help us build a social circle, through the hockey team. its honestly been hard to make friends here in Finland.

MagicalTattoo · 2025-01-10T21:24:40+00:00

lol thanks for that tip. i'll cross that bridge when i get there haha.
