It's required by the Valley Athletic Association where we sign our kids up for sports. It's just a piece of padding that has velcro and goes around the neck for whatever.

 

I know what they are

about as useless as a nun's K-unt

 

lol - I didn't know what they were until yesterday. So I'm pretty useless as a hockey dad...

 

two biggest things about hockey

- the kids skate hard
- they have fun

 

Forgot to post this yesterday, but I built a lean-to (I guess that's what it's called) for the boys.

 

lol cool, so when's the bon-fire ??

Well another Z year has ended, Z is getting put away for the winter on Wed.

 

No bonfire! It's supposed to be for the kids!

Yeah, my Z is going away on Nov 1.

Brandon's first night at hockey practice. I've never seen this guy so excited (in recent years). He's stoked. And the price tag? I might have to sell the Z...

 

A G$$$, In my day, only the girls wore pads?! Lolz

 

Why so early?!!

The way I see it...
Mid-March to Mid-Nov = Enjoyment season
Mid-Nov to Mid-March = Modify season

 

Insurance reason, 6 months on 6 months off.

Nice find. It's probably stolen. Why so cheap?

 

Because nobody wants an rb20.... If ur gonna do the 2.0 go with the sr 20. Otherwise get the 6 cylinder rb25 or rb26. You can find sr20s and rb25s for about a grand. With the tranny and main harness

 

Anyone one of you guys here in the twin cities had your rims repaired? Any suggestions on who to use or look into?

 

I have used Wheels America out of chicago and have had good luck. One wheel was as good as new, the other one could not be repaired due to the wheel being out of round.

I know there a couple places in town that do a decent job as well

 

I need recommendations on a chimney sweep. anyone know someone?

 

Let me call Mary Poppins and find out if she's available.

 

I've gotten a recommendation from a co-worker to use Precision Wheels (precisionwheels.com) in Hopkins. I did some searching and found Twin City Wheel Repair (twincitywheel.com) in White Bear Lake as well.

If anyone has used either please let me know how it went. Otherwise I'll just go with Precision Wheels.

I'll do it for a grand.
...and then do Poppins after
