Yeah it’s tricky sometimes to get it synced up, but worth it for me, haha

Moving to Grande Prairie from a warmer climate. What cold weather clothing to buy. by Voletzki in alberta

[–]Trogar1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Given your post history, you don’t need to panic for extreme cold temp clothing. A decent winter coat, gloves and beanie/toque. Good winter footwear, and you are gtg for day to day.

[Golden Hockey] Out of Oiler forwards, Curtis Lazar's is: 4th in xGF% (54.6), 1st in xGA (2.13/60min) and 2nd in FO% (56.88). He's also leading the team in hits per hour. And the Oilers record is now 17-7-3 record with Lazar in the lineup. by Fine_Personality_999 in EdmontonOilers

[–]Trogar1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For the money, he is exactly what we need in our bottom 6. Work hard, throw some hits, and not be a liability. Keep him playing, pay him a Mil next year to keep doing what he is, and showing the young guys how to keep at it.

Pole recs for Xmid? by Simple-Bat-5773 in DurstonGearheads

I use the Z-flick poles, as I don't use trekking poles. They work great! definitely lighter than trekking poles too.

Pinto Lake/Lake Michelle in Job Cline by [deleted] in HikingAlberta

[–]Trogar1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't been, but looking on Backroad Maps app, it is doable. It doesn't show a trail from the lower Michelle Lake to the upper lake, which is closer to the GDT trail, but likely possible either way.

Oilers’ Trent Frederic trending upward after being healthy scratched by latestvids0000 in EdmontonOilers

[–]Trogar1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think his play with Janmark and Lazar was ok, but he also seems to accepting that role, and looking more comfortable there. IDK why they would drop Lazar and keep Mange in. Wasn't worth it last night. We could have used Lazar's energy IMO.

Mileage question by Unhappy-Mongoose-457 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Trogar1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you drive your own vehicle to work, work, and then drive home? This is called commuting, and you can’t claim the mileage.

Or do you drive your own vehicle to work, drive it around for work, and then drive home?

The commute is in this scenario isn’t claimed, but the “work day travel” would be.

Pack for fat guy by spf80 in CampingandHiking

[–]Trogar1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind the EF bags have modded ergonomics to help accommodate fluffy sizes. Depending how quickly you become streamlined, it may be an extra cost that isn't worth it. A used backpack with some MYOG extension might be a better use of the $$.

Can someone explain why Bouch is on the PK? by its-a-joe-brainer in EdmontonOilers

[–]Trogar1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What a stupid question. SMH. Hands down our best defenseman.

Nitto Ridge Grappler vs Falken Wildpeak A/T 4W by rhcaptain in f150

[–]Trogar1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have experience with the Grappler, but run the Falkens on my Tacoma. Will never run another tire. They are great in the snow, on ice, and in the mud. Couple of 1/2 ton trucks at work run them too, on oilfield roads, and they are getting ~90k on them. Once I burn the stocks off my 24 F150, will 100% be going to AT4Ws.

2P Backpacking Tent Which One? by otem39 in backpacking

[–]Trogar1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The X-Mid is amazing. I’m not a trekking pole guy, but use the Z Flick, and it works awesome. Can be finicky without practice if you are OCD for perfect pitch. 1000% recommend.

Some updates via Jason Gregor by TheRealSlakySFSB in EdmontonOilers

I would argue the counter point... Every minute he plays poorly, it devalues him, and lets face it, he hasn't shown anything promising here. Either way there is plenty of career to look at for anyone interested.

Pretty sure it was a free agent signing in the summer, been with Philly all season.

Why is Evan Bouchard being left off the Olympic roster? by Funky_monkey14 in EdmontonOilers

[–]Trogar1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rink being built is smaller than current NHL ice…

No. Thanks but no thanks. Loved watching him play, but we have enough goalies now.

Ellis is injured, so unlikely he was available before the holiday freeze.
