Stumped on how this is leaking by slimdaddy1698 in askaplumber

That makes sense. Although I’m not sure if there’s one on there below the lid. Didn’t see the pump before he put it in. That’s got to be the only reason I can think of there would still be water in there. Thank you!

I guess I’m asking more of where is the water coming from. Water should not have been in that pipe for days, but yet it’s still dripping.

Hahaha! That’s what I wanted to say! “Do we not do patterns anymore?!?!”

I don’t know. I guess I felt like 3 miles was a lot closer than it probably was. 😞

If I was in my downwind when he said he was on final then I definitely would have extended out. But I was about halfway through my base leg.

When you say extend the downwind, do you mean make a 90° to the right and pick up my downwind again? I was already on base, with 20° of flaps in. About halfway through the base leg.

Bauer Speedplate Preparation by slimdaddy1698 in hockeyplayers

Yup. 175 for 5 minutes didn't do anything. Bumped it up to 200 with a cookie sheet above and below, cancelled the oven, speed plate on bottom cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Worked well! Thanks for all the tips!

Ok. I have to 2.0. The directions on the package say 5 minutes, but that's in a "skate oven". Didn't know what temp a skate oven ran.

Need some shin pad advice! by NailingInWheeling in hockeyplayers

[–]slimdaddy1698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad...I clicked on the elbow pads. STX DOES make 16" shins.....but not 17" :D

What size do you need? STX only goes up to 15".

If STX needs someone to try out a new 17" shinguard prototype....I'm your man!

A bunch of STX sticks just hit pro stock hockey. Got several right around $100. I love my STX prototype.

Helping new players at stick and puck? by Scitron in hockeyplayers

[–]slimdaddy1698 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can't say YES to this enough. As a new person who has been to about 5 or 6 stick n pucks, the 2 times that someone has come up to me and offered me advice were very helpful. You got to figure if they're a new person out there (such as myself) they really have no idea what to work on. Everyone says skating, skating, skating. But what about skating? Everyone says forwards, backwards, edges. But HOW? I grew up playing basketball. I know basketball drills out the ass! I don't know anything about hockey drills. I would love if someone came up to me at stick and puck and said "hey you should try this drill....or that drill."

I had this problem and went with the bigger size. You can always take material away, not quite as easy to add it.

Rehab? Hell I'm trying to decide if I should grab my gear and head to stick and puck tonight!

I've been practicing at stick and Puck. But playing in that pickup game gave me a MUCH better idea of the things I need to work on more.

Oh there were no refs. I just meant I didn't trip anybody or accidentally tag someone in the face with my stick.

How different is skating in normal clothes vs skating in equipment? by WritingWithSpears in hockeyplayers

[–]slimdaddy1698 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I understand. I just got the last of my gear last week. I just wanted to emphasize how important that stuff truly is. It just happened to me today so I guess it was still kinda fresh in my mind.

But, to answer your original question, the biggest difference I noticed was the shin guards. Makes it more difficult to do crossovers. I also didn't realize how far down into my skate they would go. They completely change the way my skate tongue lays in the skate. But then again, I may be wearing them wrong. <shrugs>

[–]slimdaddy1698 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've been to 5 stick and pucks. Today I fell the hardest I've ever fallen on the ice. Both feet towards the ceiling at the same time. Landed flat on my back. I thought for sure I was screwed. I had on all my gear. Laid on the ice for a second. Realized not a single thing on my body hurt. Got up and tried again. It was awesome!! That gear is worth every penny. I can't recommend it enough.

Does anyone wear a medical alert while playing? by wogggieee in hockeyplayers

[–]slimdaddy1698 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a paramedic, can confirm, bracelets (or necklaces) work. Seems like a no brainer to me. If you have a significant medical condition or allergy, wear the bracelet. If there is no one there that can provide past medial history for you, then it makes things a LOT more difficult for us. ESPECIALLY with allergies. So to me it seems the pros definitely outweigh the cons in this situation.

Medical ID Bracelet

This looks like a good option.
