Beautiful day yesterday.
Love fall golf but you never know when your last round will end up being the last round of the year.

I remember back in the day getting candy apples and caramel apples made by old ladies as treats, those were the good old days……….
Sounds awesome. Now it's all the same pre packaged bars from the same 2-3 companies.

I've been giving out the large chocolate bars and different stuff for years now. Kids know and they come. I'm the house to go to. Haha.

Same here, out in the country we don’t get many kids, maybe thirty if the weather’s good, always give out full size bars, the kids think they won the lottery……..

The puffer fish in the banner is in honour of one of the founding HF moderators named FuGu, who passed away in 2018 due to breast cancer. May she rest in peace.

It was part of her avatar, when HF used to allow them. It has been there ever since.

Not sure about the crab.

Now if they could just make the forum work properly and drop the constant ads which thankfully I’ve figured away around the place could return to what it was, every new iteration is worse than the previous one imo……..

Barbara was awesome. She was admin for a long time and like the mom of HFBoards, always there to listen and just a good person. I miss chatting with her. She was big on the business board, if you’ll notice it’s named Fugu’s business of hockey board in her honour.

It’s not a crab, it’s a buffalo. Buffaloed was among the founders of HF and the head honcho here (I forget the title.. only one above the admins tho) until cancer (I think?) got him too. May he RIP too..


Edit: Webmaster. He was Webmaster of HF for forever.

Attempting to watch last night's gimmick fight makes me appreciate Prime Mondays for hockey. Hope Netflix stays away from the NHL.... Wooof that was bad.

They'll take it out on the subscribers and raise the fees and blame the people. Legit Netflix was gaslighting me telling me something was wrong on my end. Lol noooope.

Not a good look but no one will cancel their service over it.

What a sad state boxing has been in forever. Last night was embarrassing for everyone involved, including myself for watching it.

Miss the glory years where not only the heavy weights were legit, but also the middle weights.

Neflix has gotten incredibly mediocre, we cancelled it last year and I ended up going the IPTV route, while not perfect, for $11 a month versus like $25 and having access to live TV + Shows...easy choice.
Ya I need to figure that out. Sounds like something that you need to know someone to obtain

I'm on the fence with mine still, I am open to finding a different provider so I wouldn't really recommend mine.

You'd need a 4k firestick or Nvidia shield pro and a really good connection, like 1000 mb/s range.
