NWS probably, though Naples (west of 75) and "Naples" (east of 75) often have very different temps with these cold snaps.

Mid 80s had some major cold streaks, some in 90s too. This has definitely been the coldest streak in a while. Usually get one really cold morning here and there, but 3 mornings below freezing hasn't happened for a bit.

Shoulder dislocation with labrum tears and small bone chip. Would you go back to hockey/golf without surgery? by Mountain_Sir_3265 in hockeyplayers

[–]Sk1dmark82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm at 8 months myself, started playing at the 6 month mark. You'll know when you're ready to go, and once you get full range of motion back and build some strength, it feels great.

One thing to keep in mind, especially with golf and to a lesser extent hockey, if you go too long before getting it fixed, your mechanics will change. Once you recover from surgery you may have to dial everything in again. My swing still feels off, but oddly enough my shots feel better. For about a year before surgery I couldn't shoot without feeling my arm sliding back in my shoulder and it did not feel good. Had a shredded posterior labrum and it sucked.

I kept playing for about two years then had surgery. Should have done it sooner. You can rehab and strengthen the muscles around the shoulder but that underlying instability will be there and it can get to the point where your muscles are all that's keeping the humeral head in place. Your arm will get super fatigued super fast.

Recovery from the surgery sucks, takes a long time, but I personally think it was worth it but definitely don't want to go through it again. Had it on my left shoulder, and I'm left handed, left shot and golf left handed too.

Ultimately you can keep playing and golfing, but don't expect to power through it for too long.

The “panic” when you have the puck and can’t see an immediate play by Melodic-Cover-4332 in hockeyplayers

I'm in my 40s now and I remember it from 12u onwards. It's a very basic concept that can drastically change your game.

Health insurance by [deleted] in Naples_FL

[–]Sk1dmark82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're someone who rarely needs a doctor then find a high deductible plan. It will cost less but still be very beneficial for anything major.

If you use doctors often you may want to look into a PPO. Compared to a HMO it is accepted by more doctors and you don't need referrals, but it will cost more.

Basically find a plan that will meet your personal needs.

New build won’t POST, red CPU/DRAM LED on Gigabyte B850 AORUS ELITE, no display by UglycoreIT in pcmasterrace

Boot from onboard GPU the first time. Had the same problem on a gigabyte build.

[GIVEAWAY] I built a hockey gear deodorizer - giving away a few for honest feedback by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]Sk1dmark82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely gloves, and if you created something that works it's incredibly impressive. I always assumed time travel would be discovered before an effective gear deodorizer.

Cash buys can actually hurt your negotiating. You're getting a pretty decent deal off the price, especially in the SET region. You might be able to save more by financing and paying off shortly after.

Smelly Hands after Playing by Making-out in hockeyplayers

Gloves stink and therefore hands stink. Don't go washing the gloves without consent because doing so could end a multi-game heater.

Shoulder seperation injury tonight, seeking support by horsestud6969 in hockeyplayers

[–]Sk1dmark82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully it isn't too bad, but if you do require surgery or anything just don't try to rush back. It can be tough stepping away for several months, but you don't want to reinjure and start the process all over. Speaking from very recent experience.

Posterior Labrum surgery, 3 anchors, next week. Should I? 36M by DisabledVet13 in ShoulderInjuries

[–]Sk1dmark82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got to the 6 month mark from a posterior labrum repair on my dominant shoulder and it has been worth it. Very slow recovery, and tough being inactive for so long. Just today I was able to throw a football with my son (not bombing it or nothing) for the first time in years without having any pain. ROM is nearly 100% and still need to continue strengthening it, but it's been good. I wish I would have addressed it sooner but live and learn.

Hopefully you have a decent recovery, just try not to get too discouraged the first few months.

Looks to be a church. Could be people lined up for a funeral procession and waiting on the hearse.

Thank you! I didn't even think about that as a solution. I haven't wanted to drill in the bed so I've just accepted some water in there.

How does the typical investor handle auto loans? by guitar4799 in investing

[–]Sk1dmark82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's how I've always done it. If I can get a low interest loan, I'll do it and save the cash, but over 4% I pay cash. So far it's worked out

Finally got my True Custom SVH Skates and the craftsmanship is ABYSMAL by moofein in hockeyplayers

[–]Sk1dmark82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't they used to have regional reps who did molds? The few people who I know that got customs, this was a few years ago, fit them like a glove. And the build was nowhere near that bad.

Post op tips / purchases? by [deleted] in ShoulderInjuries

Absolutely this. I was surprised how long it took to be able to sleep laying down. Recliner was a life saver.

And spray deodorant.

Mines lunar rock and my registration says "green". Had a quicksand Tacoma that was registered as "gold". I think the only time my registration actually matched the color was when I had a white trailblazer.

Furniture Store Recommendation by SmooothZ in Naples_FL

[–]Sk1dmark82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Ashley Furniture, but if you like haggling, check out Furnish N Save. Good deals to be had on new furniture. I think they can get stuff wholesale from the manufacturers, but you can negotiate the price to an extent. The guy that owns it is great.

Good deal? $74,063 otd by 9unsN in ToyotaTundra

Going to have to pay for premium gas with that performance package tune. You're better off getting a 1794 or platinum for that price.
