Friday!  Morning, all.  Crazy weather here... raining at the gym, dry but thundering here at the office.

Hey JoJo!

Hey there, Shaun.  The boy has his first "real" hockey tonight.  Gotta swing by the arena after work and pick up his gear and everything.

Nice! How's he doing? My son is still skating once a week during the summer, still loves it

They closed the rink for the past three weeks or so for maintenance but we got him roller blades to practice outside.  Asks to do it almost every day. Not nearly as quick on the skates because he doesn't really move fast enough to glide, but he enjoys it.  Doesn't complain when he falls, has a good attitude about wanting to keep trying and practicing.  So gotta hand it to him, he's doing well.  We'll see how much he enjoys it now that it's 'real' and not just randomly skating around a rink.  I doubt they do much of anything resembling hockey, though, similar to the "soccer" he did a year ago.

I would call it a mob skate.  That's awesome he likes it, if he isn't scared to fall and picks himself back up we might have found the next Great One!

Just like kids soccer, we called it seagull formation...wherever the ball (or puck) goes, the whole bunch of them flock to it.

I doubt there'll be 'teams' or any sort of hockey games going on, but ya never know.  His soccer was more like random drills and running around that also involved dribbling the soccer ball.  At no point was there any sort of game or match or whatever.  Either way, looking forward to it tonight.  Hope the gear is easy to figure out, LOL, I don't know a damn thing about hockey.

Here is the order I put my gear on:
jock
shinguards
socks(over shinguards fastened to jock)
breezers
skates
shoulders(if using)
elbows
jersey
helmet
gloves
Just remember, do the lower, then the upper.

This sounds like it's going to be a giant pain in the ass.

It's easier than you think...I can get dressed in 3min if needed.  Tying the skates takes the longest.

Remember to take his skate guards off before he hits the ice!

ice time is the issue. Unless your a VIP lots of kids are skating at 5-6am before school.

Demand for ice time not as great here.  I never even knew this particular place HAD an ice arena, let alone youth and adult skating/hockey programs.  Most youth hockey stuff here seems to be in the evenings.  Open skating stuff is all after school hours.  The arena is at something similar to a YMCA.

Gonna head out to Stone Brewery for a bit.  Gotta get some of that golden coffee stout!

Here is the order I put my gear on:

socks(over shinguards fastened to jock)**Or just clear tape socks if no garter is used**
breezers
skates
shoulders(if using)
elbows
jersey

gloves
Just remember, do the lower, then the upper.**Great advice, just make sure to put shorts on before skates**

Heading to NYC tomorrow with (6) people total. I got my wife tix to Rock of Ages on Broadway for her birthday and tomorrow is it. Matinee @2:00, taking a car service in @10:00AM, straight to 5 Napkin Burger in Hell's Kitchen for lunch before the show. Have to decide on a "roadie" beverage for the ride in, bloody mary or other not sure. Place has a great drink and solid beer menu, should be fun although my wife is a much bigger fan of Broadway than I am

Mmmm, booze.   Bloody Marys are one of the few drinks I really don't care for.  Don't like tomato juice even though I love tomatoes.

I mostly agree with that but I recently had one with a good amount of black pepper and horseradish and loved it.

Here's the deal - In a pint glass, add all dry ingredients: black pepper, celery salt, horseradish, then 10 drops Tabasco, Worcestershire and lime wedge. Fill glass 1/3-1/2 gin and the rest Clamato. Add celery stalk

Add a shrimp....you need your protein.

Is that a short joke?

You're a short joke.

Yes.

Bingo...or leave the skate guards on if you do the skates pre-shorts/breezers
