    the irony however is that even though only US teams have the Cup every year since 1993, when the Cup travels home with each member of the winning team after the playoffs it ends up spending more time in Canada than anywhere else lol.

    The important part is that we can buy better Canadians than Canada can!

    It's been an extremely painful month and a half now and my wife isn't better.

    Scrambling to find out the game plan once she's discharged but I feel like it's only going to get harder.

    Just ranting, don't ask about details. I don't even have them.

    yeah that's actually kind of an issue with the league, the players know they will make better money in the US due to taxes and what not being different so a lot of them (even the Canadians) want to play for US teams.

    But fuck the lot of them, the NHL minimum player salary is $800k, average is $3.5 million so I don't wanna hear about their complaints lol.

    I've been going back and forth between rebuilding my bumper and just buying a TG one. It's not entirely terrible but I guess I can't do much worse than that.

    Also thought about buying the TG cross member and winch mount and putting a factory bumper cover over it so I have more chrome :D

    :(. Mental health is hell for everyone involved. So much time, energy, patience and understanding required. It’s so relentless when it hits too, gets to be one of those “one day at a time” scenarios. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

    Hm just got a barrage of emails that my Twitter password was changed and logged into somewhere in Florida. I made the account back in 2012 and haven't used it since so...I don't know what they think they're gaining with that but whatever.

    a dropped one and a high one

    Maybe if you can get away for a bit and go have a burger and a beer, that always helps. Just nice to sit at a bar with no one and refocus yourself.

    we all here for u big dog.

    And I appreciate you for letting me rant to you.

    What's made it suddenly much more difficult, is the sudden change of heart coming from my MIL regarding care after the fact.

    Man I wish, having a newborn with me 24/7 doesn't allow for outings. Though my mom finally arrived and is staying 2 weeks so I'll have to take you up on your idea.

    $2.1k for stock LCA replacements.

    Benefit? Dual shocks.

    Actual benefit? If you consider it one...an aesthetically pleasing piece of hardware, chasing a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

    If you're going to run duals, you're probably going fast and will have long travel anyway.

    Those arms are just 'fuck you' money. Solo's are a much better value.

    Yeah the solo ones are an easy win, TC is offering a trendy way to shed $2k without sweetening the deal at all
