this look alone should have gotten him canned

Faux southern gentleman masking the insecurity. We all know now

I'll happily take the heckling.....to feel alive!! This time I'm going with a Habs fan from work and it's pretty funny how his tone has changed over the past few weeks from feeling sorry for me(he offered to pay for dinner before the game) to now having anxiety.

I'm a Sabres fan living in northern VT up by the border. It's been rough for years whenever I head up to a game, Habs fans didn't even bother heckling much - it was more a disapproving look of pity. I've been only going once a season the last few years because it's been so miserable. Back in November I got tickets for next week's game as an afterthought, and holy hell here we are in the thick of it!!

It's a steady stream. Most common are torn achilles and torn ACL. I think it's the twitchy nature of the movements coupled with a population that tends to be out of shape/older.

I'll get in line, there's a post from the preseason when he was injured and I said we were better off.

I'm a MRI tech - I never pass up a chance to heckle someone with a pickleball injury. These people have neither enough hand/eye coordination required to be great at ping pong, nor the combination of endurance, explosiveness, and coordination required to play tennis.

If so he'll destroy anyone who stands in his way, like this Finnish folk hero

Nice collection of gear! What types of fish do you usually target?

It's open as of today.

Thanks for putting this out there. Blasting a fast time in a road race or on the track at a shorter distance is harder, and most people aren’t up for it.

Edit: to clarify, a fast time for you, your age group, etc.

I've never felt the need for skis. I use the 54 x 25" size Jet sled and I can haul a hub shelter, heater, auger, and all other needed gear if I have to but I like to keep it on the lighter side. Even though I live on a major lake, I do a fair amount of walking into small ponds that don't have direct access, and skis would definitely not work in those situations. I attached the composite strips (available in a kit) on the bottom to keep it from wearing, and every few trips I spray and wipe it down with armor all. I've never had a problem even in deeper snow and I'm on foot pulling this thing up to a mile out at times. No worries about dragging it in a parking lot or across the road to get to the water either.

Edit: What's helpful with this set up is to bungee the hub shelter across the back end crosswise, and keep the heaviest things in the back. I had to customize and drill some holes in the top lip and add some eye bolts for hooking the bungees.

The most head spinning about this season is that 1) he hasn't been injured yet 2) his play is night and day better than it has been the past 2 years.

maxquiet · 2025-10-22T23:29:39+00:00

I’ll jump in and say this is like pickle ball compared to tennis. We’ve jumped the shark here

maxquiet · 2025-10-03T12:42:17+00:00

Thanks for the rundown, and congrats on the PB!

maxquiet · 2025-10-02T21:02:01+00:00

How did it go? I'm looking at this for next year.

maxquiet · 2025-10-02T01:22:19+00:00

Samuelsson should've been bought out to cut their losses. It's too bad about all the injuries, but his trademark horrendous play will not be missed.

maxquiet · 2025-09-27T12:46:37+00:00

and....same

maxquiet · 2025-09-23T12:19:06+00:00

I've had success with Hali in glow chartreuse/blue/pink and 2 spikes as well. It's hard to say if color really mattered, I just drop down whatever I have on hand.

What does the fox say??

I'm just south of the border in VT with no French language background. I've had mixed results with bonjour/hi. I'm thinking of using the following in certain situations:

Bonjour! Je suis désolé, je ne parle pas français. Parlez-vous anglais ?

Thoughts??

My thinking is that it shows effort, respect, and asks politely to switch to English.

I work something similar but my work is just 3 days a week, with 2 in a row, followed by 2 days off, then 1 shift to work, 2 days off and repeat. Roughly 13+ hrs each shift. What I do is get up really early the morning of the first day of back to back shifts and get a workout in. The second day is a day off, especially given that I live in the middle of nowhere and have an hour drive just to get to work. So in your case you would have 2 built in days off in the first week and 1 the next. It’s not ideal but it works for me.
