I agree. It didn't make a whole lot of sense to me then & still doesn't. Buck is one of the best in the MLB & won 101 games just a year prior. Last year the entire team inexplicably sucks & they fire the manager. I'd have given him at least a year to right the ship - I think he earned & deserved that.

Yesterday I felt like I was watching varsity vs JV - the Rangers were bigger, stronger, faster. How we got out of that first period up 1-0 was a miracle & losing by only 3 was too. This game showcased how truly inferior the Isles are to the best teams in the league. They had some good moments but for the most part it was all Rangers start to finish. Can they get hot again? Sure but this team can only go so far IMO.

Yup not a great effort & not much luck either - a few posts, etc. Still plenty of games left though - let's see what happens.

As Jet fans, what we need from Aaron Rodgers is for him to focus 100% of his energy on football. Especially after last season when his total on-field contribution to this team was 4 plays. We don’t need these BS outside distractions which, let’s face it, AR seems to enjoy.

So, in recent Aaron Rodgers news … He’s being considered for RFK Jr’s running mate (VP). This is just great - another distraction that has nothing to do with winning football games. We’re so effed. And oh yea - he’s also (allegedly) a Sandy Hook school shooting denier. Time to further expand the Jets circus tent.

vinnyb started following should i be worried on a small fray on the tip and When NJ HS court game goes to court
-
The video was legit & the refs acknowledged their mistake right after the game. The refs blew the call - it happens & part of sports at every level. Remember in 2010 when pitcher Armando Galarraga was robbed of a perfect game by a blown call at first base? On the 27th batter!!! The ump later apologized (in tears) but the call stood. Now what could have turned this whole story around? If the Camden team acknowledged they lost & sent the Manasquan team to the finals instead. I mean, what a lost opportunity for their coach to teach his young players a great lesson in sportsmanship.

should i be worried on a small fray on the tip
vinnyb replied to Treema's topic in Rod Building Forum
I still don't fully understand, but I'll give it a go. The "spike" tip is meant for heavier rods & that spike portion provides extra reinforcing due to the thread that wraps over it. A "regular" tip just goes over the end of the blank with no thread reinforcing. Both tips are affixed to the blank using rod tip glue (NOT epoxy) which melts when heated & solidifies when it cools. So to remove a regular tip, you just heat up the metal a bit with a lighter & the tip should come right off. With the spike version, you'd need to cut the thread wraps & then heat the tip to remove. You'd then need to re-wrap the new spike tip with thread & epoxy finish. In either scenario, adding some thread & finish UNDER the tip (as I described in my previous post) would not affect the ability for you to repair the tip if need be. Make sense? -

Yup - that's a tip. So what's the question? -

I wouldn’t worry about it. You can repair it with a bit of epoxy - use some masking tape to hold it temporarily until the epoxy cures. As mentioned, the tip will likely cover it anyway. If you want to be extra cautious, after you repair the fray as described above you could wrap the entire tip area with a layer of thread & a coat of thread finish. Then just purchase a tip with the appropriate size tube to fit over everything. -

That’s what I kinda figured. No worries man - all good. BTW I did end up going with the Alps VTG seat. Haven’t built the rod yet but I received the seat & it looks good - high quality, nice aesthetic & comfortable. I’ll post some pics when I get further along.

The NHL should end this nonsense. Hockey isn’t a sport that should be played on consecutive days IMO - players need more than 24 hours to recuperate.

lol all good things must end. Thought winning back to back games would take a miracle anyway ;-)
