I just received my "Conner McDavid A Historic Season" 3 puck limited edition set. It's really cool and going directly into my basement poolroom/man cave. My set is # 19 of 97. The piece of game used net in the set has a black mark from a puck, pretty cool. I've been waiting all summer for it and it is a very nice set. There are supposed to be 5 random sets that are holographic, but I wasn't lucky enough to get one of those. A pretty cool new addition to my collection.

I got it from IceDistrictAuthentics the official Oilers store. I still see adds for the set online and my set looks exactly like the add. Everytime I've tried to post pics, it always says I have to many pixles. The Kane Jersey I posted a while ago was actually Bronco posting it for me after I sent it to him. He's actually helped me with a few things, great guy, maybe I'm biased.

So now that I'm retired I'm doing all these odd jobs around the house that were put off till another day. Well I guess today was that day for painting my entry way. I'm only doing the door jambs, baseboards, door trims for the basement door and the trim for the outside doors and the doors themselves. Then there is the trim around the doorway going into the kitchen which is connected to the trim leading into the hallway and living room.
I forgot how much prep work there is, no wonder I hate painting. I don't remember there being so much taping. Now that the taping is finally done the painting is going well, but man it wasn't the quick job I was expecting to just put a couple of coats on the trim and doors in our entry way!

Lol yup, painting is 90% prep, 10% actually painting haha! Meh, you got the time now tea, enjoy it, the end job is the reward! That's the truth, Happy. It does look better already and I've got a lot of these "little" projects to eventually get to. The trick is to keep plugging. My problem is many of the jobs I start turn into much bigger jobs than I anticipated. We've owned this house for 10 years now, it's a 1950's built solid and square house. Over the years some previous owners did some work to the house that really shouldn't be called work. I have found so many Mickey Mouse fixes and wrong materials that I'm afraid to look behind things. Thankfully the original structure is very sound and once I go far enough I've got something to build off of. Enjoy the game tonight! I think working like this keeps my mind off of waiting for the puck to drop.

Just after Christmas is a great time to look for deals. My wife spotted and Oilers mug (like MrTea doesn't have enough Oiler tea mugs already.) It's big and bright orange and molded (very nice actually) and it holds 2 1/2 cups of tea! I already have a huge amount of Oilers mugs, but my new favorite is a large mug that holds 2 cups of tea. My oldest daughter bought it for me and it says on two sides "Sometimes all you need is a good book and a cup of tea". It fits me perfectly. Anyway back to the big Oilers mug, it was twenty dollars and my wife said "after Christmas it might go down in price" and we left the store. Today she comes home from shopping and says "look what I got" it was that mug. Of course I had to try it out and was overjoyed to learn it holds 2 1/2 cups of tea. Now I have two favorite mugs, so that I'll always have at least one clean one.
I also just picked up a second hand Samsung 40" tv for my daughter for $80. The sellers just got a new one for Christmas and my daughter is more than happy to get a 40" Samsung for her wall. There are deals out there, you just have to be patient and know when the time is right.

It was Steak Night for the union last night so Happy got a lil too Happy lol, see tunes from my youth above lol. Anyway, I'm sure you guys have caught wind of this: www.hockeyfeed.com/nhl-news/holy-grail-hockey-card-collection-discovered-in-regina-family-basementCan u imagine? Would u open the boxes/packages? I would, and I wouldn't think twice about it. I'd maybe stop after I found the first Wayne rookie card, or maybe the 2nd, or 3rd.  "They" say could be up to 25 Wayne Rookie cards in there.... Mind Blown. |
