seagoal Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) Well today my partner is out of town and my plan was to mostly be bored and mopey, maybe mow the lawn and vacuum up tumbleweeds of husky fur. But oh no, the universe has another plan for me with a spontaneous home project. I discussed the rounded rail atop out porch banisters was rotten. So I removed it, which was tough because two screws were stripped. Got them out by exposing them with a drill bit and locking the drill itself to them. The wood beneath the rounded rail was fine. Clean, sanding, wood filler, more sanding, primer...and soon paint. Good times. Yay for day drinking, home depot runs, and perfect summer weather. P.s. @Lucky Pucker I'm drinking Guinness and listening to REM, Green. Cheers mate. Edited August 14, 2021 by seagoal 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is some freaky shit, my man… let me break it down: my spouse is also out of town I also have tumbleweeds of dog hair to vacuum (but that’s “tomorrow Pucker’s” problem) I also was working with deck/lumber type stuff (cutting out the skirting to make an access door for storage) Tomorrow I have to sand it, then stain it while the weather stays dry Also had beer and tunes - but mine was mostly shoegaze again Crazy… nice hat, BTW! My buddy’s kid - who is also one of my kid’s best buds - also has that hat. I think people who are not necessarily Seattle fans are excited. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not ever think to lock a drill directly onto a stripped screw if it is exposed enough. I had no idea. My good friend and neighbor, the wife of a very good carpenter, told me to try it, haha. Behind every good man is a great woman, eh? Even me I did have the idea to expose it inside that rotten wood with a drill bit...that was fun. I did take archaeology in college.

Yea I've never heard of that either. Pretty helpful though. I'll definitely remember that next time I have a stripped screw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTH Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I just had an aluminum fence installed around my yard. Didn't even want to see what wood would have been. Vinyl wasn't an option with kids who play baseball and lacrosse. They shot dozens of lacrosse balls through our original wood fence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised my neighbor's daughter hasn't put anything through the fence yet. She plays lacrosse too. She's always back there slinging balls at her little backstop thing that bounces the balls back to her. I find a ball in my yard every now and again but thankfully nothing has come through the fence lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Found my old shoes from my Gene Simmons costume. There were boot covers for these. I used these for a brief while in a KISS tribute act. Needless to say I did win many Halloween costume contests! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had replaced a 30 year old wood fence. My vinyl fence was installed around the time I had surgery. The low maintenance aspect will make you smile. I just rinse mine in the spring and fall. Don’t power wash vinyl- the jet will cut right through! I saw one guy cut his with his power washer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagoal Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Fun little goalile training scene going on in the parking lot of the rink I played in last night. It was setup for kids in the local junior hockey program. Spent a bit of time talking with the coach and maybe setting up some training for me soon. We got along great and he's got good vibes. Might be a nice opportunity for me to do some focused, repetitious, detailed training that I have been craving. It was great to see these kids having fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a forward just trying out the position? Are we allowed to critique his stance? Also masks outside? Me no comprende. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People walk down the street alone masked up here. It is what it is....so much to say (I just deleted a whole paragraph). I'll leave that alone though.

No good can come from discussing this publicly online. A real goalie using a player bucket? With old Koho pads? With a poorly broken in glove weld way too high and wide? We're about the same here in Vancouver. I always get a kick of seeing people driving around, alone, with a mask on. C'mon now, let's open up the gates, get the peanut gallery buzzing, and get SBR to tell us how vaccines are stupid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insertnamehere Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I've now bought Gnetik 3s, Optiks and Vapor 2X while owning Warriors and each time I've kept the Warriors. Perhaps I should just stop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
