2018 Windjammer Classic - UMN, SLU, SU, UVM

Should be a fun event. Staying on campus for Thanksgiving for the first time so I'm getting to experience this in person and I cannot wait. If anyone's coming and needs recs/stuff to do in BTV, let me know!

Is there a direct link for the tournament I could send to my sister? She's going to be in VT over Thanksgiving with her daughter, and they might want to check it out. Except, I don't think either of them has ever been to a hockey game at any level. She's from SC and my neice is an English professor at Univ of Rhode Island. I'll see if I can get them there to cheer on my Gophers!

No direct link. But games are Friday/Saturday, puck drops at 4pm and 7pm. Streaming will be free here https://portal.stretchinternet.com/vermont/

Should also check out Ben & Jerry's as well as Cabot.
Dakin's online store sells Cabot almost exclusively, I just ordered three varieties I can't get in our retail stores here. And knowing my niece's politics, I'm sure Ben and Jerry's is already on their list!
Thanks!

I’m coming in thru Logan, so I’d like to pick up a bag of bud while traveling up to Vermont thru MA. Anybody know where I could find a good shop that isn’t too expensive nor have long lines?
No, it’s not for me, my 43 year old nephew is back living in my brother’s basement, he’s divorced paying child support while working as a sandwich artist at Subway, so I thought I’d give him some holiday cheer.

Go Gophers!

Maybe one day he can be like you and live in a van down by the river... ;)

Motivational speaker...

I’m no longer down by the river (wasn’t that a Neil Young song? see the USCHO café, and somebody buy the mod a sense of humor) I’m at the tent city on Franklin & Ceder now, I just couldn’t pass up getting new clothes and sleeping bag, free food, and the possibility of getting a real roof over my head. Every evening there is a cocktail hour, almost like you cake eaters in Edina and North Oaks have, except we all drink from the same bottle here (and needle if you are into that).
It’s quite the life here, people caring for all of our needs, now I know what it must be like to have been born with a silver spoon in my mouth, it’s like having a butler, nanny, and maids.

Hey Jeeves! How about a little Gray Poupon!

The easiest thing to do is probably to pick up some bottles at the New Hampshire Liquor Outlet between Manchester and Concord on 93 North, just before 87 splits off to VT. The parking's easy and the selection is huge. (You're probably there already by now of course).

Hey, it's the holidays! Forget about the bud, you should have brought some Bent Paddle Kanu, or at least some Schells with you!

Go Gophers!
 
Re: 2018 Windjammer Classic - UMN, SLU, SU, UVM

I discovered there are only two dispensaries in the state.

Then I discovered something else… Déjà Vu!

It was like my first trip to a bar when WI lowered the age to 18 decades ago.
A friend called and asked me if I wanted to go to Prescott (no explanation was necessary, it is right across the border where the Mississippi and St. Croix meet, I knew why he was going) and as a bonus he said he had two girls with.
So we get to Prescott and go in a bar and sit down, the waitress comes and asks us what we want.
Never having bought a drink in a bar before, I had no idea what I wanted. So when my friend said “Tom Collins” I said I’d have one too. Apparently the girls didn’t know either and said they’d have one too. The waitress smirked and walked away.

The dispensary is just like that, who would have guessed you can’t just say “gimme a bag of weed” they have many different types with strange names.

Diesel #2, a classic strain (so says the sign). $50 for a 1/8 ounce. Seems like a good choice for my nephew. 16.9% THC and 5.9% CBD

It rates 65 on Happiness (seems appropriate given his condition), 53 on uplifted, 52 on energetic, 49 on euphoric, and 36 on creative. Hopefully my nephew isn’t looking for something to inspire him to write a song (he’s a musician, when he isn’t slapping meat and veggies into a bun).

Best used for stress, depression, nausea, pain and inflammation they claim. Yup, that’ll do my nephew fine.

If SLU is #8 then I think SCSU has a good case to be tied with them for that ranking
8-2 final
UM scored a shorty 5 on 3 and another 5 on 4. They took 6 penalties including 2 5 on 3s and half of the third period off and won in a walk.

I'm not sure how much of this was Gophers looking great and how much of this was SLU looking like they were skating in slush

It was tough to tell on the video, though it looked like the Gophers showed a dedication to backchecking that I haven't seen in a few years.

I'm at the game in the press box...SLU looked like they were skating in cement and once they gave up that 3 on 5 shorty it all just seemed to spiral.
