Enjoying an outdoor hot lunch while building is the best.

Just got the last 2 cards to make a full set of 1976-1977 O-pee-chee hockey cards. Brad Park & Tony Esposito were the last two I needed. They always issued less cards of the top stars. I got lots of doubles (and triples) of players no one remembers or heard about. This was when a pack of cards actually came with a stick of gum. Only 16 teams in the league at that time.

I will give you 5 bucks for your Don Lever card.

I'll check and see if I have doubles of that card. Looking at those old Canuck players, I can't believe how fast time goes by. Chris Oddleifson, Dennis Kearns, Harold Snepsts, John Gould, Dennis Ververgaert etc.

A small paint roller handle (without the roller) makes a great back scratcher.

You'd need a 5 gallon bucket of lotion to cover that whale!

Cool house in cool setting with a cool story. It's a good 5min read if you need a break from something.

Don't know if anyone has been following the Kicking Horse Canyon highway upgrades, but it's been a pretty impressive project.

It's a double shovel day on the North Shore.  Got out this morning and it's all been filled over now.

I haven't been following it, but I will appreciate it next time I drive it  That stretch is a white knuckler in good weather

I received the invitation for my citizenship ceremony. Apologies in advance for bringing down the average MTB talent among Canadians ;-)

I want to do something very Canadian to celebrate, any ideas beyond going to Tim Hortons?
