The friday of the may long weekend!!!! What other sentence gets you goin more? The official start to the summer, drinking in the rain at a campground that has no leaves on the trees yet, swimming in fridgid waters. Hey its awesome!
It has been a few years since I was out camping for May Long, last time it rained the whole time and some one I was sharing a tent with forgot to close the door so I slept in the car the whole time.

Carolina/Boston-Game 7-Overtime. Nothing beats a game 7 in sports and nothing beats OT in game 7 in sports. I was hoping for Boston to win since Carolina is a bunch of cheaters as proven in 2006.
Anahem/Detroit-Game 7-Boring. I was hoping both teams would lose. Go Hawks Go!

I have my Golf clubs all ready to go for the weekend and I don't care what happens I am getting a round in by Monday at the latest. I have been NEEDING to golf for about 3 months now and still have not gone.

I was in Cold Lake last night for the Lakeland Bachelorette and saw that the ice on Cold Lake is still thick. I was disgusted. When will it warm up so I can complain about being hot?
While in Cold Lake I ate at Clarks down by the marina and my oh my do they make a delicious burger. Possibly the best in the lakeland! Next time I am in CL Clarks will be my restaurant of choice.

Hope everyone has a safe and fun May Long weekend.

Was it not disappointing to see the Caps/Pens series end in such a bad way? Game 7’s in hockey are the most intense games of the year but someone forgot to tell Washington that. I was outside assembling my new BBQ (which kicks ass by the way) and came in to check on the game and saw it was 5-1 at the start of the 3rd period for Pittsburgh. Now I didn’t see much of the game but from the highlights on TSN it looked like Washington didn’t even care. Hate to say it but Russians (Ovechkin, Kovlov, Fedorov, Varlamov, Semin) just don’t have the passion and determination that Canadians (Fleury, Crosby, Letang, Cooke) have. Great previous 6 games though!


I have the worst craving in the world to go to Regina and watch some Riders football! Only 50 more days until the Riders open their season at home vs the BC Lions. Can’t wait!!!


I was not impressed yesterday afternoon with the customer service in Wal-Mart at Cold Lake. We went there to buy a BBQ (as mentioned above it kicks ass) and they had them all stacked up. So we went to a Wal-Mart worker and asked for some assistance. 10 minutes later, nothing. So we kindly went back and told them we would like to buy a BBQ so could we have some help. 10 minutes later 2 girls came along, who looked as if they couldn’t even lift a jug of milk, and complained that they needed to help me so they told me to go up front and they would bring it up to me. Another 10 minutes later they came with the big BBQ balanced on a shopping cart, rolled it up to me and walked away. So I was left to load this 150 lb box into my vehicle alone and had to balance it on the top of a little shaky shopping cart through the parking lot. Maybe next time I’ll check out Zellers.
