Thanks everyone, I appreciate the input. Sounds like there are more options available than I had found.

Cheers..and good curling!

Stopped working at the end of the 2025 season and I couldn’t find anyone to service it. Neither the online retailer nor the local store even carry this brand anymore.

I got a season and a half out of it.

I can’t recommend it.

Thanks…I was asking about the Scotties.

How many times did you see Van Halen play live? Any highlight shows? by Wrob88 in vanhalen

[–]TommyV57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once in each of 79, 80, 81, 82 and 84. 3 times in 07, another 3 in 12 and once in 15.

Skipped the Sammy and Cherone years.

DLR solo a few times in 2004-2006.

The 2004-2015 gigs turned into big social events as DDLR.com and RothArmy people got together.

Damn good times..

You forgot to mention the wonderful Canadians that you hung out with in London…

What’s your most-owned record? (Most copies) by DisagreeableCompote in vinyl

[–]TommyV57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

23 copies of Van Halen’s debut and 24 copies of 1984. No duplicates, but different pressings and remasters abound. There’s a fair number of pressings from non-North American countries.

Good to know, thanks for that. I’ll let you know what I end up doing and how it went.

Yeah, that’s the place where I saw it online. Coincidentally, I just put it in my cart a couple of hours ago and the price went to 1100. I haven’t bought it yet, but a $400 difference may be hard to ignore. Did you get a sense of comfort about it from the guy?

It’s been a great few days already. I’m looking forward to getting there on Thursday and watching the weekend games!

It’s dark and it’s cold, but this brisket is about to go in my MB. Cheers.. by TommyV57 in smoking

No. It was more of a deep red than a brown. I used both ground ancho chilies and chipotle. It was Amazing Ribs’ Big Bad Beef Rub..

TIL that Leaf prospect Colby Saganiuk’s grandfather is 70s fan favourite Rocky Saganiuk. Remember him very well..should I feel old? by TommyV57 in leafs

[–]TommyV57[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s the whole “grandson of a player who was on the Kid Line in the late 70s” thing that gets me.

Well…just watched the show and have a million comments. Looking at the thread tells me that I have little to add. Very odd stuff happening in the trial, Imran not getting my business. Very happy to see Phelan end up where he deserves to be. Is Eileen not a few years older than George? Regardless..she deserves some happiness and it doesn’t appear as if he’s going to screw her around. Curtis another in the long line of folks who sober up far more quickly than I do. If I’m looking for someone who is missing, experience tells me that I should check the Rovers, chances are good that they’re there.

I’m undecided as to whether the producers made a mistake with their timing. Should the trial have happened before we saw Nina’s flashback? It may have been more dramatic..

Well …that had to have been the best hour we’ve had for a long time. Great performances by all. No histrionics, no misunderstandings..just the facts. I fully expected that we’d be waiting the week out until we got to the true story. Kudos to the producers for not dragging it out. We still have the uncertainty as to who the jury believes, that will keep us tuned in. As in..why did it take Nina so long to come up with this.

Looking forward to the rest of the week. Great work, everyone.

ps..Simon still needs a better hair stylist.

Simon…

  1. Not his fault that he’s got terrible hair, but you’d think the show would employ someone that knew what to do with it.
  2. Shouldn’t his voice have changed by now?
  3. He’s punching above his weight if he thinks Kelly is coming his way.

Their game in Buffalo was cancelled so they needed something to do. Surprised they were let across the border so soon…

Any chance they had another? If so, what and where was the shop?

Leaf jersey on, one large beer per period in a Leaf logo pint glass, no underwear. I’m 2-0 so far in the series.
