New Hockey Gear!
Last Tuesday after I slammed my stick down in a fit of rage (due to a number of things) it snapped in 2 pieces. It wasn’t a bad thing though. My old stick was an Easton Intermediate stick, a 65 flex. It was definitely a little too small/weak for my needs in the first place, but it was the only thing Play It Again Sports had at the time.
Saturday morning I dropped Nancy off at her house and got an oil change while she was getting ready. It was great because I also got my car washed inside and out. After that was done and I picked her back up and we went on a little road trip to Hockey Time USA in Roswell, GA. I’m so glad her phone had a GSP on it because apparently Hockey Time USA was in a completely different location then I last remembered!
Once at Hockey Time USA I picked up a new Warrior Dolomite stick and some minor necessities since everything else in this place was extremely expensive. I also tried to get a stick extension to add to my new stick (since I’m a bit on the tall side I need an extra 2 or 3 inches added to my hockey stick) but they were sold out. This spawned a trip to Play It Again Sports in Fayetteville.
After driving through rain, 100 red lights, and tons of traffic we made it to Play It Again Sports. I was so surprised by their selection, they used to have about 10 feet worth of hockey gear and most of it was youth. Now it’s a lot bigger than that and a lot of it is Senior equipment! I got the owner to add a stick extension to my stick and I picked up a few more things while I was there. I got some Easton Gloves, pucks, tape and then headed back home.
Once Nancy and I got back to McDonough it was around 6PM and we decided to eat. We tried Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Long Horn, O’Charley’s, and every other decent restaurant on Jonesboro Road but they were all PACKED. We went back to my house for an hour or so then headed back and things were a lot better.
I couldn’t wait to get home and relax after we ate, it was such a busy day. At the end of the day I drove around 150 Miles, spent well over $400 bucks, and had a blast. It was definitely one of the best Saturday’s I’ve had in a long time.
