Ice resurfacer catches fire on hockey rink in dramatic video

There should be some useful GIFs coming out of this

The Jets unveiled their 10th anniversary logo recently.

It could become super-awkward if as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations for the WHA next season, the history of the old Jets is transferred to the new Jets, which means they would turn around from celebrating their 10th anniversary this season to their 50th the following season.

Bought my wife a Nintendo Switch, we have been playing Animal Crossing together and of course I am now hooked on the friggin' game . It's a pretty neat game system, though. Lots of cutesie games to play with your significant other, it should pass some time until hockey starts again (whenever that will be).

Awesome. I was addicted to it over lockdown here. Unfortunately I think I burnt myself out on it and haven't touched it since June.

Yeah I'm sure I will have the same thing happen to me and I will get back to my XBox; I doubt she will though (judging from me watching her design wall paper for 30 minutes). Good couple activity until hockey starts again. It's a lot better than us watching news all night lol.

Only 6 more months of this weather to go, not too bad.

I bought snow tires for my new vehicle 2 weeks ago, I was ready! . Also experienced the miracle of heated seats while driving to work for the first time today lol

Ya i got that experience of heated seats for the first time last winter, butt and the back of the seat , very nice. The heated steering wheel is also very nice, get spoiled very fast and then you have to have these options now. Winter tires are going on on Friday, missed it by that much, as Get Smart would say.

Sorry folks, this snow is all my fault. First, I hung my bike up, just to get it out of the way, I thought I'd have at least a couple more weeks of riding. Then I had my snow tires put on yesterday in the morning. BTW, TPMS is expensive. Should just be a single time outlay of cash though as I'll have them for whenever I need new tires.

Full support on the heated seats/steering wheel. Spoiled.

Big boo on Winnipeggers that have already decided it's ok to use four parking spaces because "they can't see the lines".

Yeah, so since I have an almost new vehicle for the first time in my life I wasn't even aware of such things as TPMS. I don't have them on the new set of snow tire rims I bought because they would have cost and extra $60 or something like that. But whatever, I got by fine with a hand held gauge before haha. Maybe next year I will put them on that set.

You should see how expensive tires are for a Cadillac Escalade , oooof .

Yeah it's no problem to do without. My older car that my daughter has now has snow tires but I didn't put the TPMS in them. So when you start the car you get the "warning" but it's not a big deal at all as you press a button to clear the message and carry on. Actually learning and knowing you should check the tire pressure is a good lesson for younger drivers (my daughter, not you).

The TPMS is around $60/tire btw. Adds a considerable chunk of change. I invested in some nicer rims than the standard steel wheels (which is what are on my daughters car) as well so the whole exercise this year was awfully pricey. My 'winter' rims are still black though, so at least I'm maintaining a part of that steel wheel tradition.

No kidding. My wife and I learned that lesson some years ago. We'd always been driving the lower end of vehicles (think Civic) but when we moved up a bit (Accord/Pathfinder) we found out that there is a next level altogether and it applies to almost everything (tires, exhaust, etc.). That's not even close to the last level though My current car has 18" wheels and that's scary enough for me. What's the size on an Escalade? 20"? 21"?

22" , it's goofy and when you get the lower profile tires that adds even more money.

That's perfect.

Sweet Jebus. Knowing what I paid for my 18" winters I'm feeling better now. So thanks for that.

Do they even have low profile winter tires? Low profile kind of sucks to actually drive on - I guess they're a bit better at cornering (in dry conditions when you can push it), but the ride is so harsh. My wife's car has low profiles in the summer and it's a better ride on the more standard profile winters.

yeah they told me $60 per tire for the sensors and I balked on it for this winter, next year.

Big sporty rims and low profile tires are nice for summer but for winter, it's just a waste of money. Go with smaller diameter rims and higher profile tires. Just make sure the tire circumference you end up with is within 3% of the OEM set. Also, look at narrowing your tire width a little as this is better for snow. There are calculators online to help with the conversion. Of course, get rims that are approved for your vehicle. Otherwise, the wrong offset could result in your set contacting brakes, suspension or the fenders.

It was 25 degrees in my city today.

Set to rain for my hiking trip on my week off though.

Totally agree, the winters aren't going to be low profile those are the summer ones and your right lower profile tires are not for a comfortable ride, they just look good.

Pick up Mario Kart. It’s so much fun. Be careful though, if both of you are competitive that game might cause a divorce! Haha

It's on the list! But the price of those Switch games, we can maybe get one per month haha. The initial investment in the system + 2 games and a pro controller was more than enough.
