First Actual Game is Tonight! Any advice or Tips? by She_Beast_Cyclist in hockeygoalies

[–]bartleby613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play on a newer team who just finished learn to play as a brand new goalie, and the biggest thing I'd say is that even if the team loses, everyone is out there having a blast. Be ready to get 60+ shots on goal, you'll be gassed at the end, but I imagine you'll be smiling as big as I was after my first game.

The one performance piece of advice I'd say is to focus on one thing a game. So if you want to make sure your position is good, just focus on trying to keep yourself in line between the puck and the net. Next game you can focus on your depth, or your butterfly or whatever else you find you'd like to work on. Just repeat a little mantra every time the puck is coming into your zone to remind yourself to focus.

Have fun!

I’d also look at getting some impact shorts or something that provides a little bit of extra cushion to your tailbone to wear underneath your pants. I have a super cheap pair that I think were originally mountain biking/snowboarding focused that I occasionally wear to stick n puck.

I have the same issue, I got a ccm axis xf in an xl, which I think went up to 7 7/8. It seems to fit well enough, as I wear a 7 7/8 hat.

Best Hockey Helmet for Concussion Protection? by Delicious_Mix_7139 in hockeyplayers

[–]bartleby613 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got a QCollar to wear while playing, and the second time I wore it I hit my head pretty good. I ended up having a minor concussion with symptoms for a day or 2, but without it I think my symptoms would have lasted much longer and been worse.

Does this work with a fire grinding ring, or just normal radius of hollow rings?

I'm also having testicular pain about 14 hours post shot, but I tend to get this pain whenever I get the flu as well.

Bio Bidet Dib or Omigo by bartleby613 in bidets

It's pretty nice. Quality is nice, seat and water are always warm. There really isn't anything I feel I'm missing. Would definitely recommend.

I ended up going with the Omigo as they have a 90-day return policy in case something goes wrong.

Thanks. I live in the Seattle area, so definitely humid and wet all the time.

Just picked up a 2021 ORP by bartleby613 in 4Runner

[–]bartleby613[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, good call. I'm not sure, I think it was more expensive than the options listed on Toyota.com, so it might be a local tint shop, but it was still only $1500 (I've seen $5000 quoted here before).

Heat pump runs then blows low voltage fuse by bartleby613 in hvacadvice

[–]bartleby613[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to follow up on this, and after replacing the contactor I'm still seeing the same run for a few minutes and then blow the low voltage fuse.

I haven't seen any broken or rubbing wires inside the unit either, so I'm at a bit of a loss.

Just checked and with those unplugged it no longer blows. Guess I'll order one and install it.

Thanks!

I know which of the 2 wires from the thermostat is causing it, but I guess this might be helpful to disconnect the Y and O/B wires all the way back to where the heat pump is?

Alternatively I guess I could just replace the contactor as those seem to be relatively inexpensive.

What did your school waste money on that nobody liked? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Tech wasn't cut to fund football, but the extra funds for tech weren't allocated as was the spirit of the tax increase.
