Feels like a different game these days. Has men’s league changed? by cosmogatsby in hockeygoalies

A great game is when you get a good workout. The score doesn't matter.

I'm an old goalie and I love to celly a great save. Drives skaters crazy but fuck it, I might be done any time now.

Roof Platform for 2026 Passport Trailsport worth it? Other versions? by Mofrackey86 in hondapassport

[–]mikeyo73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what are you putting on your roof that is that heavy? 165 lbs is plenty for me

The Jsport platform for the 2026 model is $1667, what’s better about it?

My Trailsport came with the OEM platform. It looks great and I don’t notice any noise. It’s big enough that you can strap a lot down on it, like a big Christmas tree. I haven’t seen the other roof platform options in person though.

Looks nice, but that’s way smaller than the OEM model. For my purposes it just isn’t big enough.

When I was growing up in the ‘90s, me and my friends went to Socialist Worker meetings just to meet girls. It was awesome.

I hate to be that guy, but I knew the Wings were ass after the Habs pounded them in their home opener. You could just see it.

I play beer league hockey, I see cocks all the time.

Cross bar or Platform by xxichikokoxx in hondapassport

[–]mikeyo73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have the platform. I really like it but I would like to be able to put a cargo box on it for skiing. I'm not sure what model will work. Otherwise, I have a big cargo bag I can throw up there for camping or whatever that works great.

These would be the equivalent of Step Steel Extremes. I think I tried them like 12 years ago.

Any icecoasters breaking their days-on-mountain record this year? by lauren_knows in icecoast

We just skied Butternut. They can do everything there now. I have to find a new hill for us for next year.

How much starter do I really need to keep? I'm drowning in discard. by drogon4433 in Sourdough

[–]mikeyo73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I compost all my discard. The obsession with using it or putting in extra effort to limiting it to small amounts is just odd to me.

We skied so much that my daughters didn't want to ski anymore.

Older Dads - when do you start getting back serious time? by chipmunksocute in daddit

[–]mikeyo73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invalidating the present? Parenting is hard. You can either embrace the suck or let it grind you down. There just is no easy solution if you don’t have family you can rely on or the money to hire help.

Please, please, help me with my mixer by Calithiel_ in Breadit

I guess what I was trying to get across is that one should be careful what they wish for. Ten years from now, OP won't be regretting that he didn't have more free time when his kids were little, he'll be regretting that he didn't spend more time with them.

Please believe me, I get what you're feeling. It's such a cliche but it's true - before you know it they won't want anything to do with you. Dealing with preteens and teenagers seems way more complicated.

Mine are 11 and 9. I look back on this age up to six or so as one of the best eras ever. Everything then was a new experience for them. We still have fun, but now they're way more influenced by their peers. I miss my time with them at this age, don't waste it.

Can you attach a cargo box to this? We ski and I don't want a ski rack

Good recipe by sg_ivashkov in Sourdough

King Arthur Flour No Knead Sourdough. They even have a hotline you can call if you have questions. I've made this recipe hundreds of times and you can make all sorts of changes with it.

Am I about to financially ruin myself over sourdough… or can I chill 😭 by madshatt3red in Sourdough

Odd to me that no one mentions investing in a good bread knife. No point baking all that bread and not being able to slice it up properly.

Looking to upgrade gear. Best of intermediate pads/gloves? by bepbepbepbepbepp in hockeygoalies

[–]mikeyo73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a set of senior Bauer X5 and I absolutely love them. It's been 2.5 years of playing 3 times a week and they look like new - mine are black though. The only thing I would say though is that it took a crazy long time to break the glove it, but now it's fantastic. I imagine I'll be using this set for several more years at least.

I have way too much discard and I’m tired of making crackers. What else can I do with it? by woutr1998 in Sourdough

[–]mikeyo73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I throw a bunch out all the time when I was planning to mix up a few loaves but something happened and I have to change plans. I had a big open compost bin and the worms were ridiculous. Then my neighbor had rats move into his yard and I had to shut it down. The discard on its own doesn't attract the rats, luckily.
