As quirky as he was, you just had to admire the "bloke" as he would say.  He found so many positives with so many negatives.  He tried so hard to create content and get conversation going, some more well received than others.  He really was a sweet man though.  Rest peacefully Doug.  

PS Can I have back my old Richter pads that I sold you so many years ago?(I'm joking)  Unless of course, you performed your Bunny surgeries on those as well lol.

This is so true.

My car was a 2014 Honda Accord Sport 6 speed sedan I had since new, tons of room, was able to get both daughters goalie bags in the trunk, pads and sticks in the back seat, and lots of room for the 3 of us.

Then 2 weeks ago coming back from older kids hockey we got rear ended at a pretty decent speed, car written off. Getting about $16k CDN, which is ok. Kids both have some whiplash injuries, which is not ok, but it could have been much worse if it had been a bigger vehicle that hit us instead of a RAV4.

But trying to replace it? Civics are now almost $40k CDN for the new manual one I can find in the area, and I can find one used Accord but it's $35k CDN. Mine was paid off, but guess I have to go back to a car payment. If I didn't want a manual again it would be a bit easier, but not any cheaper.

Our plan had ben to get rid of our F150 with the 6.2L since we don't tow anymore, but it's now sticking around for a bit, really don't want 2 payments.

Glad to hear the girls are ok.

My wife's 16 Subaru has worn out it's welcome. Nice having a paid off car to drive. But the continuous needs are getting old. Yesterday it decided to light up every warning lamp while driving. My wife loves that. So - time to go.

Checking the cash offer sites, gets her about $9k for it.

She wants to trade it in. I presume the best way to do this is to take a few cash offers in with you to give you a floor. Then let the dealership games begin!

When I come in with my laptop and have a payment calculator already up and running - the sales guys still try to ask me 'what do you want to pay per month' like it's some magic science.

We did interest calculators in 7th grade math bro. 

The buyout on my wife's lease is $25k.  We were offered $33k for it.  The problem is we waited too long to do this.  There isn't much out there to buy in mid range trims.  Everything is base or maxed out.  And dealers are selling at 5-7k over sticker so the money we were offered for her vehicle is now moot.  We have a fully loaded vehicle right now and the market is pushing us to a bare bones base model and paying more for it.  It fucking sucks.  We're probably just going to buy out the lease and keep it.

Interesting. I would have thought that Mrs. Richter would be the more accurate type, considering how many women hate the smell of their men's goalie gear when it has not been cleaned. But it might be different if both he and she play in goal.

Grease is a solid when cold. So when people cook and the hot grease from the pan is poured down the drain - it will cool in the pipe with cold water. It grabs other debris and makes a sticky ball of goop. 

Sewer lines aren't smooth inside. All the pipe joints and bends will cause areas where flow slows down. Add in hair, shampoo, soap and other goodies that make their way in and you get a problem brewing.

Keep repeating this process and the globs grow. Similar plaque in your arteries, when the grease globs break free, they will clog up at the next pinch point in the line.

Test is on Friday.

MTH, PE

Makes sense.  I always wipe all the shit out of my pans before I wash them in the sink but obviously some stuff sticks until actually washed.  My wife on the other hand...don't get me started...

What does grease down the drain do to the system?  Asking for a friend...

Could be an arch/foot issue.  Have you tried aftermarket insoles?

I'm in custom orthotics now, but @SaveByRichter35's skate guy used to be EQM for NYI.  IIRC he told me most of his guys that weren't in a custom orthotic were in Superfeet. 

This is the one you want, don't get the comfort.

I have no recollection of him saying that to me nor me telling you that.  Might have been someone else that told you that lol

The auto market is so fucked right now.

Ah got it, so you are looking for a chassis that would be on a size 6.5/7 skate

According to Labeda's sizing I need a 9.3(S).  It looks like yours and Dreadlocked are 9.8(M), mine is a 10.75(L).

Picture added

OK so to answer a few questions here from personal experience.  I've had several skates that have been riveted and re-riveted a few times over.  My current inline skates, Graf 7500s have had the original cowlings, removed those, drilled and riveted on CCM XSG holders, removed the XSG holders, drilled again to fit the current Labeda Predator chassis.  Still solid.  As it is, I am looking for a smaller sized chassis as the one that is on there is too big.  So that would be another drilling session that would be needed lol.  The bottom of these skates are looking like swiss cheese.  

I've never skated with Tour Thor skates so I cannot comment on the flimsiness of the boot.  But, when I first started playing ice I was in some shitty Bauer Supreme 1000 boots that were flimsy as shit.  Then I moved up to the Bauer Supreme 7000 boot.  As I said I have never held a Tour boot in hand but it looks to have a carbon weave boot so I am sure you'll be fine.  

Dammit.  Yea those are the same size.  The problem is that size chassis works on that size 8 skate but it also has a cowling on it.  The chassis I have now were on a 9 boot with a cowling.  They're like skis on a size 8 boot without a cowling.  The tips of the chassis literally hang off the edges of the boot.  I'll add a picture to the original post so you can see lol

Is this what you are looking for? Coming from a size 8 skate.

Yea pretty much.  Can you measure from front to rear axel like Dreadlocked1 did a few posts up?

Let me catch up reading this thread.  But, while I do that :cough:  here look :cough:

This guy was able to get it done somehow- just saw this video the other day on YT.

I had it done to my T5500, it was a custom request.  Look how much better that looks.  For the life of me I do not know why they continue to do that.  I get it in the olden days when goalies had their gloves down by their knees.  But no one does that anymore.  Evolve already.

Beautiful.  Vaughn really needs to stop placing their logos upside down on the glove cuffs.  It's fucking stupid.

When I started living alone I had two cars (money pits) that were super cool but I never went anywhere because it was such a pig on gas.

If I was a kid again and were to do it again now, I'd get the cheapest EV I could find (about 14k CDN now, it used to be 8k before the Pandemic), delete the backseat and use it pretty much as a runabout around town. Basically just going to work, getting groceries, and going to Arenas. Looks silly I know, but I'd also be saving like 200~400$ a month on gas, which is quite a bit when you're young.

And upping your electric bill as you charge it at home.

Also, the players are not looking forward to this.  It is not going to be exciting for them to be playing at an NCAA arena.  The facilities situation for them is an embarrassment.

Once the Coyotes arrive home in the desert, they’ll face some logistical and scheduling challenges.

The Ice Den in Scottsdale, which is slated to replace the Gila River Arena as the team’s full-time practice facility, is a standard community rink with three ice surfaces and little by way of NHL-caliber bells and whistles. As of now, the Coyotes are trying to renovate office space nearby that can be converted into amenities for players to work out, shower, change and seek medical therapy. Trailers have been discussed as a temporary solution. For shuttling to and from the Ice Den rink, which is separated by about a 100- to 150-yard walk, one option being explored is a rubberized mat that allows players to cross the parking lot in full gear and skate guards. Golf carts could also be used.

Said one Coyotes player: “Every other team in the league will be laughing when they visit us.”

Quote

According to a league source, the average NHL team makes $2.3 million in fan-driven revenue (tickets, parking, food and beverage, merchandise sales) per game. The Coyotes, in Glendale, make less than $900,000, a number they’ll likely struggle to reach at ASU.

The Coyotes will never be moved to Quebec.  The league just finally evened the conferences with the addition of Seattle to the West.  If the Coyotes move anywhere it will most likely be Houston.  A rapidly growing southwestern city with an owner begging for an NHL franchise and has an arena waiting for them.  Keeps the team in the west, natural rivalry with Dallas.  The city is also home to lots of corporate headquarters so that means lots of potential branding rights $$$$$$$$$.  

Its a real shame it didn't work out at the Glendale arena.  I've never been inside Gila River Arena but I was there for a Giants Cardinals NFL game.  That whole area surrounding the arena and football stadium is so nice.  Lots of bars and shops and restaurants.  That has to be better than spending time in a college arena.

Oh it's happening.

Please add your location

But yes my hatred for Pittsburgh runs deep.  I hate how blatantly obvious it is that they get so many calls their way.  Its like the league isn't even trying to hide it anymore.  I am not saying that as a Ranger fan, I have seen it happen with Pittsburgh against other teams as well.
