How many laff games have you been to this year?

My guess is zero, can't get tickets and the prices are the highest in the league. Heck they won't even let you watch it on tv lmao

 

really Matt?  now we're really grasping at straws.  how's that tarp thing going?  maybe we could dim the lights between periods too for some cost cutting...  you know to sign a bum defenseman.  ohh wait, no chance in hell he's sticking around..  maybe douchenne. 

FYI, two. sat in the reds both times and i've watched 95% of the other ones.  

blah blah blah blah blah 

hope you like the 67s

how are the pellet stoves vented? how the heck would it heat the whole house?we are looking at cottages and homes and like the idea for heat

we have a wood stove in the basement of our backsplit.  while not NWT (just west of orangeville), it does the job of keeping the house warm without running the furnace until it gets to -25 or so.  ceiling fans help move the air around. 

what i find works really well is to take advantage of convection (warm air rises, cool air falls) by placing a fan on ground level of the floor and pointing it down into the basement.  This accelerates convection by forcing cold air into the room with the wood stove, displacing the hot air in that room, and the hot air has no place to go but right back up the stairs along the ceiling.  you can see this by placing a piece of paper at the bottom -of the landing even with the fan off you will see the cold air going into the basement and, at the top of the landing, the hot air returning.

all that assumes you have 1st world internet

how much does it cost to get the peeling plates replaced .?

grand total of free if less than 5 years old

if it starts with a b, more than likely same grand total even if it's older than 5 years

otherwise i think it's around $50

Id love a late 80s rx7 or early 90s mr2 as a weekender.  Back when cars were still relatively simple - without nannies and weighed nothing.

Talk to a different bank or your broker.  It sounds like the one you went to will not do a HELOC in  "2nd position"

there is a range of plates (ie. BAxx - BFZZ) that they will replace regardless of age.  i don't know the exact range.

'their team' will be the 67s sooner than later.

if they're real lucky, the habs will put their AHL team in ottawa.

the pacemaker is another very similar bait that has been around for a long time.  not sure which one's the chicken and which one's the egg.

Raf, correct me if I am wrong, but haven't the top raiders been around for a long time?

absolutely, they've been around for a very long time.

it's a bass size version of a top raider (musky lure) which work great for pike/muskie/big bass

you're right, a leader doesn't hurt it one bit.

was kinda hoping sosh would replace komarov next year as the 4th line agitator if the can't/won't resign leo but i guess not

in lou we trust.

what do you guys do when you need to go onshore to drop a deuce.. and you can't pull your glass boat up on the rocks?  or camping... and your beach is granite?

are you sure you want a glass boat fishing georgian bay (i'm assuming glass when you said bass boat)?  shallows/shoals at that?  one thing for a cruiser tied up to a dock, different story for a fishing boat IMO.   glass and granite don't mix well.

even an aluminum, with the low draft found in a typical bass boat would not be my first choice when the rollers kick up.  a 'walleye' boat, different story.

maybe things are different with your supplier, but when we were on propane the onus was on me to check the gauge and call for delivery when needed.

it's a 79-93 mustang .

a 23 year old M3?  i'd be inclined to stay away, but it also sounds like it's a bit of a collector's car which tips the scales in the other direction.  tough decision.  i'd love to drive one, not sure i'd love to own one. 

all vintage BMW owners i've talked to say it helps a great deal if you have the time/space/inclination to get your hands dirty.  

now crypto... there's something i won't touch.  i have no understanding how that all works.
