    Yeah, straight up; this is a bump. :D

    I think I've noticed some new members join, and might not be aware of this thread. In this iteration here on the goalie network, it was @Ghostender who started it (thanks!)...

    OK  - I think you guys misunderstood - the idea of this thread was actually for me to talk about myself - don't really care about anyone else.

    :rofl:

    (OK JK - love to hear about where people are coming from and how/why they took up the position!)

    May as well just show up in a mobility scooter.

    At less than 5 months to 60, all I can say is - don't tempt me>:(

    In other news,I've already mastered inverting my goalie sticks to use them as crutches

    I'm 46, so technically MID-40's.  But, had a major Heart Attack at 43, plus I think like an old man, so I am pretty sure I qualify.

    Heart attacks are an automatic in: Grump Old Men Club by-law 203.2.1:

    "Automatic admittance will be granted to any male who either :

     a) has a heart attack

     b) while attempting to pass wind in a public place unintentionally soils himself"

    Note that clause 'b' cannot be invoked if the candidate was heavily under the influence of alcohol (no need to start a stampede to this club)

    ....It makes sense, since my HAL strap cord is definitely getting worn from rubbing between the ice and the cowling. 

     

    I posted an image of my homemade toe-ties somewhere on this sight. I think it shows the (blue) nylon sheath I put on there to take care of that problem (which was copied form the original "Flex-toe" design)

    I do whenever I can! Pickup is no problem, but games will all depend on which refs we get. There are two refs in our league that won't let me use it. I've had a couple posted in August I think, one of which was MSH SummerJam :) 

    On YouTube? I searched "IPv6Freely" which I think you used to post under and couldn't find any ...I see a couple of "MSH Summer Jam" but they are a player's helmet cam

    Well, pads may be getting smaller, but the last time I checked the goalies weren't:)

    Bunny: Mrs. Miller – don’t recall it but I will check it out (if it’s on YouTube)

    While it wasn’t quite in the 70’s, watching man walk on the moon July/69 had a huge influence on me and definitely moved me toward the career I’m in now.

    FR – yeah I hear you – those young ladies certainly accounted for a specific age range of the audience (present company included). I see clips of Barbara Eden in “I Dream of Jeannie” and think that would probably draw an audience today

    Awesome to see this thread getting traction

    Dropout: Points for most creative alternate yet highly efficient use of a Depends

    Willy: you will always get points for reading while on the toilet - it's where the old spend their "formative" years

    Bunnyman: here’s a hint – they should call Metamucil “Magicmucil”

    Mike24: You state a powerful case, and I now believe you deserve to be in, but you must refrain from quoting the ‘90s. This is not the “grumpy middle aged men’s’ club” – it’s the grumpy old men’s’ club. I would suggest reading up on what happened in the ‘60s and early‘70s with special attention to TV series – because they were the best!!

    Yes, those are valuable traits that show promise. 

    I'd still like to hear a rant from him. I suggest the topic be why the price of both prune juice and Depends cannot go up at the same time.  Bonus point will be given of use for the following phrases or references:

    • in my day
    • when we were kids
    • depth of snow walked in
    • cost of bread
    • kids on his yard
    • value of elastic waisted jogging pants
    • technology
    • irregularity
    • people are starving in (insert foreign country)

    Hold on there @bunnyman666 ! You know from the discussion at the last executive meeting it's a sliding scale: the farther you are below 50, the grumpier you have to be. Now I realize that not everyone can excel in both fields the way I have, but @Mike24, what are you bringing to the table here? I mean, can you provide us with an example of a good rant that will bump you up in the "Grumpy"column???? Bear in mind with your low age, you are going to have to rant at a level that would cause most people to spontaneously combust, so, yeah, bring your game face and bring it on....

    Not too sure where you're located. But I'm here in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

    Actually, that's one thing I would like to see added to the profile thumbnail off to the side is the option to add your location (I realize I could add it in my profile, but...) If it were in the thumbnail it would allow people to know quickly where you are. Then it would be easy for someone in say Toronto to calculate the shipping on that used CA from a tender in Boston before he even enters into purchase discussions, or if two tenders were close enough to ask the other to sub etc...

    BTW - coop - you are just across the straight from me!

    I don't know how a steel needle from a sewing machine would fare. I recall one of the fibers (can't recall if it is CF) is very difficult to cut with (regular scissors) and dulls them pretty quickly.

    According to wiki, sewing machine needles are made of " hardened chrome-plated steel, though certain specialty needles are coated with titanium rather than chrome." The other concern may be splitting the CF with the needle (perhaps specialized needle shapes are used?)

    Don't know if anyone out there has experience putting a needle through CF.

    I'd say someone dropped the ball on the stitching and in QC as well. If it were me, I'd e-mail SFS with the pics and see what they will do - probably direct you back to Vaughn which may be closer to your home anyway.

    The crux of it is this is not a complaint because something wore out or broke (to which they would probably claim "regular wear and tear"). This is direct proof of incomplete fabrication, or poor quality workmanship - call it what you want. As far as I am concerned, either SFS or Vaughn should pay the shipping for the return if they want them back and the shipping back to you after stitching this,or sending you a replacement pair.

    So I seem to recall it being said that the 1S series doesn't come on "inch lengths" but, as stated by TGN as "L", "XL", etc. (correct me if I'm wrong).

    But TGN, you called your seat a 36+1 - do they allow you to spec the "+size" with each size, or is that just an estimate on your part?
