Sounds good, they don’t have indoor seating just FYI.

I guess we could sit out in the cold...or pick another spot.
By the way...I'm not a nazi or white supremest or violent person ...never...so I come in peace not for confrontation.

No worries, I’ll tell Tony he can keep a little distance.

Haha....that's funny....if it's a joke:) I have a second but won't bother

I was an avid hockey player most of my life.....defenseman.
Learned on the ponds and bogs and later the rink on a mens league. Right now ice conditions on ponds and bogs is perfect for skating....have not seen a single youth or group of kids on any of them. We have the softest generation of kids the world has ever seen......they have iphones and computers but no ice skates. I miss the days where large groups would be out there with three different games going on. Guys who couldnt skate well played goalie and with ferocious intensity. Goal was two boots set a variable and changing distance apart and shots had to be on the ice. Spent all day sometimes.

Exactly how I grew up. Skating on the ponds when we were 5

We had fires in the evening right on the ice.
Sometimed we would skate around in the full moon passing a puck around.
In the city I knew of three out door skating locations with warming houses with big inside fireplaces going....you walked around inside the building with your skates on

Congrats to Canada on their win..... little consolation for going 30 years with no stanley cup for them.


Spence......My Tony is nicer than your tony i bet

Is that food for your real dog?

Freezing out, if you still want to meet I think the Black Goose will be open or you’re welcome to stop by. Both are less than a min from Costal Roasters.

What does this question mean?
Thanks todays schedule is up in the air right now. For some strange reason I would like to have a cup of coffee with you sometime...but please stop with the hitler and nazi nonsense. Its childish.

Oh i guess you meant food for my other dog? ummm ...no.
My other dog. Vinny. I happen to love small dogs......I have no need for protection.....they do.

I use to love the sound of those "safety cracks" reverberating across the pond in the otherwise silent darkness.

No worries, busy morning anyway. Warmer is better anyway.

Thanks....we should do this though
..like a social experiment....two sides coming together to negotiate or come to some kind of amicability....should we discuss round or square table...booth?
Yeah the cold sucks....im overdressed for being inside today.

Detente....that's a French word right?

Canada’s win over Team USA

You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game,” the outgoing prime minister declared in a terse statement posted to X after Team Canada beat their North American neighbors 3-2 in overtime.

Trudeau’s message was a not-so-veiled response to President Trump’s repeated threats to turn Canada into the 51st state.

What no comment?

You follow me like a puppy. And hang on my every response.....stop begging.
What they want is the Stanley Cup and can't win it....32 years is quite a drought for the proud Canadians

Typical keep Moving the goal posts. What’s the Stanley Cup have to do with anything As if teams that win the cup. Have all American players.

You’re the one calling the other teams sackless ? And a hokey expert. I am just curious how the sackless Canadians could have won?

To be honest I was just hoping you could come over and teach me how to use my titanium tools. I’m having some trouble getting them out of the packaging though.

My advice would be stay away from the power tools....or any project that involves problem solving. Just kidding spence...I dont give private lessons
...or let people watch

Poor wfsmo following right behind me....looking for some attention. The line forms to the right big fella

I know it bugs the hell out of most people to be watched but I’d rather they do things the way I want the first time, even if it costs a little more or adds a little extra time as they’re trying to get to the next job.

Even an elite craftsman like yourself (maybe super wicked elite?) makes mistakes or cuts corners (ha!) towards the end of a job. The guys who did all my Azek last fall were really, really good but still made a few design decisions I wish I was consulted on first. Most people might not care but I consider them mistakes too expensive to fix that I now have to live with.

Spence i never considered myself elite .....nothing I do is ever perfect.....im more about productivity and do better than most in quality . Its adequate. I never in my life would allow you or anyone to watch or help

Thinking how nice it would be to pass it on,,, just a little Sunday morning thinking while nursing one of the worst colds evah….

go fishin……:wavey:

Worked both my sons hard yesterday......nephew invited me to go ice drinking fishing today. I opted to go for an early morning skate alone on the small pond behind me...just got back. It was glorious ....i feel rejuvenated. My feet hurt from skates that havent been worn in years.....no falls.
Get better soon
