Another season of ball hockey has finally started. There was a long break for the Winter holidays. Our team is mostly back. Unfortunately, Mo is out to injury and the Commish moved to teams to help balance them. But we do have some good news! It appears we finally have a permanent goalie. She has never played in net before but wanted to try it. She did great in her first game. We won pretty handily. We've all played together for many seasons now so we gel well as a team. The other team, while good players, seemed to be all new. I think once they get a few games behind them they will be pretty solid. I had a good night and more importantly didn't feel too bad Saturday morning. Replaced my stick as it feels like it is going to crack soon. It had a wonderful run.
We went to Aurora today to look at a used car to replace our old 2006 Hyundai Elantra. It is looking its age for sure. Bdot's sister has a client that was selling his car so she gave us the heads up. It is a 2015 Hyundai Tucson GLS. It is the base model but a decade newer so... *shrug* It was hard to pass up the opportunity. It is a cool little 4 door sport utility vehicle. 134k on it, but it had its motor replaced at around 35k. Some minor rust issues but overall - a much better option than what I have so, I'm sure looking forward to the upgrade. The car has a tow hitch so I can mount the bike carrier on it! Our nephew helped us out today. He was an incredibly resource to have and answered a lot of questions for us today. We ended up liking the car a lot and put a down payment on it. It is going to be safetied - if all goes well, we might have it by this weekend. It reminds me of cars we've had in the past like the Vibe and Impreza, both of which we loved. They were both so versatile. We also got in a short visit and had a yummy brunch.
Car insurance is such a scam. Going to be $30 more a month for a equally gutless newer car. ๐๐๐
I was having issues with my Arch install and it recovering from sleep. When it came back the screen was a garbled mess. It was unresponsive and had to be physically reset. I was about to hop but tried Hibernate instead... and, huh! it worked fine. What a last minute save. I like have a representation of the major Linux distros. They are all a bit different, as is the software available to them... Endeavour is pretty slick with KDE IMHO.
Canadian U18 Women did fantastic this year beating the U.S. for gold!
