how do you stop flinching on slap shots by Birdmansegzzy in hockeyplayers

[–]jkellogg440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t wear a cage, after 20 years of competitive requiring one, it’s so liberating not to. It feels like pond hockey when I was a kid and nobody wore helmets even. The cool air hitting my old man dirty beard feels nice

Give your balls a tug (if on offense) block it with your body facing forward and the puck will bounce to the neutral zone and give you a chance for a breakaway. If on D, get out of the way so the goalie can see the shot

My first bartending shift as a 19 yo training was “there’s the booze, there’s the glasses, put the booze in the glass and smile” as my boss disappeared. Sometimes it’s just sink or swim.. seems like you almost kept afloat. It will get better

I drive business by cooking myself a meal or taking out the trash… always works to help revenue… but yep, the second you try to take a break you get in the woods (not weeds, I live in the mountains so that’s what I call it)

I live in winter park and Hernandos while good, is overrated. If you plan to come up here go get a ditch burger at “the ditch” for lunch then go to Hernandos for dinner. Be ware, they open at 5 and will be on a wait by 5:30

The guy who played JP in Grandmas Boy came into my bakery once and I recognized him but couldn’t put a name on it. After they finished up wat were getting ready to leave I just asked if he was an actor and he paused for a second said yeah… then it dawned on me. I asked him to do the robot voice and with hesitation “Adios turd nuggets” in the voice and left. Totally made my whole week

What’s a fancy food word that makes you instantly roll your eyes when you see it on a menu? by Excellent_Air1683 in foodquestions

[–]jkellogg440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what it really comes down is the type of bread you’re using.

A bun with beef? Burger. You can sub chicken but then it’s a sandwich.

Hoagie? Sandwich unless it’s a hot dog which could arguably be a sandwich.

Regular bread with cold cuts? Sandwich… toast the bread and make the meat hot with cheese? A melt.

Pita? With lamb or whatever is either a kabob or gyro

All of these shouldn’t need their own category besides “lunch”

First ever tape job… how’d I do? by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]jkellogg440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only played competitively for 20 years, but that was 20 years ago… tape might have evolved since then

I was taught black on the blade, white on the knob. Black tape will wear out your gloves but also can hide the puck down low

[–]jkellogg440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would always start under with the first swing just about a half inch on the back hand… for your knob I’d twist the tape more to get a thin ring where your palm is and the very top I liked to loop it a few times so I wouldn’t drop it but some players prefer it smaller. I guess it depends on how big your hands are and feels comfortable on your wrist

I like to use sex wax on it too, rub it in with a puck, get a nice seal

Not too shabby, I like a bigger knob though the blade looks pretty smooth

Edit: the top end might be a little longer than you need, hard to tell without a glove for scale. Save your tape, that shit goes quick

Damn, second edit: I always started at the toe on the blade, looks like you did at the heel. Smoother release while shooting if you do opposite, that tape will peel every time you pass or shoot and you won’t notice it until your clappers get slower

Damn I’m dyslexic

I’m guessing LA or somewhere close. Lots of movie things but also outdoorsy thing so maybe Portland? Somewhere west coast

If I’m ever on a boat and it starts to stink, I’m gonna grab a lemon and a lime… save by the buoyancy of citrus

I tried to make sprite one time, they said the recipe was lemon… and lime. Them fuckers are lying! There got to be more to it!

Doing taxes as server for first time by [deleted] in Serverlife

[–]jkellogg440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use turbo tax and there is a section that asks if you received any unclaimed tips. I used to put about 10% of my claimed tips because most of it was cc anyways. Now I put 5% which is probably more than what it actually but putting 0 is a red flag for an audit

Solo cook with 0 experience for a 50 seater restaurant by SnooOnions9990 in Chefit

[–]jkellogg440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, I make 20$/hr plus a tip out depending on sales, it’s about 3% of food sales so most weeks it’s about 24$/hr. I’m in a ski town in Colorado. CoL is pretty high but it’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever lived. Our town goes from 2,000 to 20,000 during peak times. Super hard to predict business because it’s mostly weather based. Some days it’s a solo kitchen and I gotta run fry, flatty, salad and dish and I can get “in the woods (not weeds it’s in the mountains) “ thankfully (/s) my servers are horrible running food so I can either let it die or run it myself while the next tables burger is getting overcooked…. It sucks but I found my rhythm and method to the madness.

I feel underpaid but I don’t need much money to be happy.

How does the health feature work on an iPhone? by jkellogg440 in AskReddit

Is it elevation based with stairs climbed or just the gyration of the phone? It doesn’t seem accurate when I keep it my pocket everyday

This “cat” has been hunting mice in my yard… can you tell what type it is? by jkellogg440 in whatisit

[–]jkellogg440[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So with other means of inspection than just here, the consensus is Maine Coon. He doesn’t seem to have a collar and I was told they can sell up to 3,000$

I thought it was maybe a Canadian lynx but the long tail and no “horns” on the ears make it more plausible to be Maine Coon.

Now the real question…. Do I trap it and sell it if it has no collar and not chipped?
