Just a quick note once again, as many of you may already be aware, the NHL (that's hockey) playoffs are on. To a large percentage of Canadians, this is like, well, maybe not like, actually better than porn. It is a Canadian legend that the sex position know as 'doggy-style' was invented here - solely so that both people could enjoy the hockey game. But I digress, and waste valuable time that could be watching hockey. I felt like I needed to get another post up here, for no small part to push last night's post down one - gee, you really got to hand it to red wine sometimes. Good stuff. It was a good weekend. I got a LOT of yard work done, spent some quality time with the boy. All in all, a success.
On a side note, I stopped by a yard sale on the way home from the local coffee shop around noon. I have a Tim Hortons about a block away and the house around the corner were just packing up their yard sale. As a result, everything was a quarter. So, I picked up an old copy of the book 'Curious George' for me son and a Sega game for myself. I do actually have a Wii, but this was old school - an Sega Genesis game called 'ACTION 52'. No, I have no system to play it on and no intentions of getting one. In short, I bought it only because I had never heard of it before and well, I know most of them. Well, as I suspected it was a collector's item - the two currently on eBay are now going for $90.00 and $40.00 repectively. Of course, mine has also now joined them. No bids as of yet but I'm also certain to recoup my $0.25 investment. video game collectors or those who are simply curious can go HERE.
Lastly, while maybe I should not be admitting it online, I was just able to secure a refill for my son's sandbox at a very good price. You see, even with a cover, this past winter seemed to steal a fair portion of the sand from the sandbox. As a result, my son really needed a top up. Luckily, the city has seen fit to dump a huge load of it nearby for some road repair they are doing. So, 9:30PM on SUnday night finds me with the HUGE tuperware container and a shovel. I quickly filled to container and was barely able to drag it back to my car. Oh shit! This thing now weighs 200 pounds - how am I supposed to get it into the car? Well, I barely did it and even now, almost 1/2 and hour later I am praying that these chest pains are because I pulled a muscle in my chest. Man - the things I'll do to save $50.00! Not my proudest moment, to be sure. Of course, this story is 100% fabricated if you work for the local authorities. Canucklehead out - cheers!
