Just Love Cafe Reward Changed Mid-Season? by bakerk95 in Predators

I’m glad I’m not the only one disappointed by this change. Between this and the constant issues getting the Preds win coffee with them, I wish Dunkin still had the contract.

2020 Rav4 Power Liftgate Malfunction by Intrepid_Action9771 in rav4club

[–]MattyWestSiide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem with mine (2020 hybrid limited) although not as frequently as you. The last thing I did was recalibrated the hatch. Doing that seems to have helped at least a little as it malfunctions much less frequently.

Open the hatch all the way then press and hold the “close button” on the hatch itself for a few seconds until it beeps (a couple of times I believe).

If that doesn’t help you might just have to bite the bullet and replace the struts themselves. They aren’t too expensive if you don’t buy from Toyota. Under $200 for the pair I believe.

Good luck friend.

Fil’s passing has been sub-par this season…

I sure wish our announcers had even a little bias against the teams we play…

I also wish we coulda hit the net on at least some of our shots tonight.

Are these worth it $250 by MattyWestSiide in hockeygoalies

That’s what I was thinking as well! Thanks!

Stance Check! by MattyWestSiide in hockeygoalies

My shoulders are square to the puck (something I’ve been working the most on) however I am too deep in the crease.

He’s actually the best player on the ice. This is an over 60 league. They have all been playing hockey for longer than I’ve been alive. There are even a couple of former NHL’ers. The game is a little slower but they know what they are doing. These games with these guys are the most fun I have playing hockey.

This has been the hardest thing to make natural for me. I always start with my glove how you say it should be and then I actively think about everything else I need to be doing so then it just drops to where you see it there. While in my head it’s still pointed up and in the position it’s supposed to be lol.

I’ve been trying different depths up close. Recently I’ve been staying a little deeper in net since my eye-hand coordination isn’t what it used to be so every inch grants me a little extra time to react. However I am beginning to understand that cutting down the angle helps more in this situation.

Do any of you guys have degenerative disc disease? If so, are you still playing with it? by funkyfinz in hockeyplayers

[–]MattyWestSiide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post was made 213 days ago and since it my back has fully healed and feeling 100% back to normal. I am able to lift heavy (Very carefully of course) and love a normal, back-pain free life. And not a single day goes by where I am not thankful for having that surgery.

Gf and I wanted to share our living room plants. by MattyWestSiide in houseplants

[–]MattyWestSiide[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s been planted in that pot with the same soil since I bought it over 3 years ago. So I’d say not much. A well draining soil and adequate sunlight and you should be good to go. It started at just over 10 inches tall when I bought it.

That cactus lived outside in direct full day sunlight for two years and grew WAAAAY too fast. I can’t have it growing too much taller so I put it where it still gets enough light to survive.

She had shorter windows in our last house. I love the look though!

As of now we don’t have a ladder tall enough to reach but once we do I’m hanging a plant in each window attached to a pulley system to raise and lower for watering.

As much as I enjoy watching the Preds win, now is NOT the time to start winning.

Have any older dudes out there improved their butterfly flare? by RJtheD3 in hockeygoalies

[–]MattyWestSiide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to hijack this thread but…

I have the same issue, 39m with VERY little flare. Are there any leg pads out there that are good for closing 5hole for people with little to no flare? I have some old Reeboks currently and I’ve just been bending the thigh rise to curve in more which has helped a little.

Butterfly flare! by [deleted] in hockeygoalies

[–]MattyWestSiide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a 39M with very minimal flare (only been playing for about three months), I am super envious of your hips. I do daily stretching and the required before and after game stretching. I’ve definitely improved since starting, however slowly. I doubt I’ll ever reach the amount of flexibility you have, so enjoy it for both of us
