I am a rink rat, on the ice whenever I can. Had been scrimmaging with the junior team for a couple hours (they needed a goalie) and then the adult group had the ice. Mind you, it wasn't a hard shot (maybe 60mph or so) but I got a shot that hit right near my collarbone. I have a good chest protector (Vaughn Vision 5500) and WAS wearing a padded neck collar, a descent Itech helmet as well, yet although it didn't leave a bruise, the impact itself caught me off guard. Would you (hopefully you're a goalie or parent of one, otherwise this probably doesn't make much sense to you) suggest I wear a dangler, if so are there any that don't fog up excessively? I play ice, but keep in mind the weather is between 60 and 110 F here much of the year (about 15 to 45 C) so warm air inevitably creeps its way into the arena causing shields (on player helmets) to fog up almost as fast as an Al MacInnis howitzer.
lmao! Ah..yes it's the gift that keeps on giving!! Now I know your Co-worker and neighbors are probably shocked and appalled now, but give it time because soon you will see a smile on these peoples faces. In fact I would send something else that goes with it. Like batteries or a bottle of vino perhaps. There's nothing like vibes and wine to de-stress your day!
Yes. The ICC fire codes referece NFPA 10 as the standard for portable fire extinguishers. The minimum recognized rating for a multi-purpose ABC dry chemical for general building protection is UL rated 2A:40B:C which is typically a 5 lb unit. Depending on the number of extinguishers you have, the square footage of the store, the travel distances to each unit, and the type of products being stocked, you may be required to have a 10 lb unit. (UL 4A:60B:C).(Note: UL Ratings will vary with the manufacturer of the unit.) My recommendation would be to go with the 10 lb units. They cover more area and are acceptable for most any type of fire found in a retail setting. (The only exception that quickly comes to mind is pool chemicals because of the potential reaction to the extinguishing chemical.) As far as the number of units, again this is based on the square footage of the store. Check with you local fire extinguisher company or local fire department for specific requirements.
Try rubbing alcohol. It removes stuff from everything else!
